The Gap between PS3 and Xbox 360

I just discovered that the PS3 launched 50 weeks into the life of the XBox 360 when the 360 had sold around 5 million. Just over 5 million hardware sold in XBox 360's first year is a terrible result.

So it must really be terrible that MS has a lead over 5 million when Sony should have started to close in on that lead from the start.

On Topic:

I find it funny that people think cutting/eliminating the price of Xbox Live will spark bigger HW sales. That would just increase Xbox Live sales if anything. I doubt there are people sitting on the fence saying "if only Xbox Live were free..." I think most feel the only game MS has is Halo and because Halo 3 has released the 360 will now die. Everyone talks about how Sony has all these great games that everyone is going to buy the system for like the 360 won't have any games. I mean it has been crowned the Software King, yet no one feels the new games coming out would entice people to purchase a 360? Do any of you realize the 360 HW sales are higher than last years? If they can get their price down their year over year increase will be even better. Plus If they raise their sales enough to sell on par with the PS3 Sony will never catch them.
