It's in the numbers.
Despite a superior library and cheaper price, 360 is still losing ground to PS3 in NA. Despite securing the rights to GTA IV's DLC, PS3 still got a larger hardware bump from the title.
360 software is still selling great. The platform isn't dead, but these facts suggets that the core market which is interested in buying a 360 at the current price point is close to being tapped, while PS3 has more growth potential at its current price point and userbase.
The question is: Is Microsoft willing to slash profits on the consoles it is selling just to increase the userbase? Will the surge in demand justify the lost profits?
I'm going to go with a 'no' here, in response to both questions. MS and Sony both know that they aren't going to seize the market leader position. The cost won't justify securing second place.
