Was 299GBP for the PS3 far cheaper than the X360?  If not, then you are missing the point.

I'm not actually. He is referring to antitrust laws. Whether or not the PS3 was cheaper than 360 has got nothing to do with antitrust laws.

Its to do wit unfair competitive advantage. For example making PS3 costs 600 GBP to make but is sold for 299 GBP. Thats pushing the antitrust laws.

Not really.  Because MS did the same thing with their pricing.   It cost a lot more to make than they sold it for and it was still cheaper than the PS3.  

Did the PS3's pricing cause harm to MS?  No.

Now (in the context of the current situation) if MS designed the Next X and it cost $700 to manufacture yet they sold it for $100 and Sony couldn't match anywhere near that price without practically going out of business, then you'd have a violation of the anti-trust laws.

A king has the reign for a while and then dies. MS begins. Sony will prefer to stay simply out rather die.

Well...atleast for now let's guess this generation goes for MS exclusives.

Not quite.

Microsoft chose to not do HDDVD or BluRay due to costs. Because it would have meant tje console costing 600GBP or more to manufacture.

The fact that PS3 and Sony chose to have all the latest components yet sell at a massive loss, even though slightly more expensive tan the 360 at 299GBP it looked alot more worth it then due to Bluray and in built wifi.

MS were selling nearly on par with manufacturer costs. Sony was selling a god 3-400GBP lower.

It was borderline antitrust laws. And very desperate measures.

Well this discussion has evolved into something else!

Anyways, these anti-trust laws are silly (in my opinion!), and Sony already slightly pushed them with the PS3.

Also Selnor, accept my friends request you evil twat :p

ROFL.

I avent properly checked through my profile stuff in ages.

Me thinks I need to check all info and update.

Your added. :))))

im not the biggest tech nerd in the world but i have if they use a 16 core setup with that shitty graphics the system will bottle a lot so something in this article can not be true.u have all of that powere with such a shitty graphic card its does not make sense to me

16 cores is just overkill. Unless, they really want to future proof their console and go for a 10 year cycle. I wonder how much this thing would cost out of the gate. Even if Microsoft can get huge discounts for the parts the thing would still be pretty expense...
