They need a kick in the pants because Silverlight hasn't taken over yet.

This much is true.

The funny thing about this generation is that it may be the first where the console with the best games comes in 3rd place.

If you look at the sales charts here, you'll notice that Microsoft, as a software company, sells very few games on the 360. What little money they receive they need to get from hardware. A price cut would just eat into their profits more. Microsoft, at this point, is concerned about breaking even.

Nah, not really.

That's what I think.  Especially with how low 360 and PS3 are this week in America, if the PS3 can just sell 200 - 250k more consoles than XBOX in June (4 week month), it will double 360 sales.  I don't think that's too hard of a stretch, but I'm no Pachter.  

MGS4 is a success no matter what happens, since it's an awesome game.  But sales-wise, I'd call it a disappointment if it didn't outsell 360 by 1.5:1

What I don't get is the contradiction.  Some people are saying the PS3's slight Japan bump was due to MGS4 coming, but label its poor NA sales as a bi-product of people waiting for MGS4.

I think the slight Japan bump was just that, a 2k bump from last week, nothing that special.

EDIT:  

The problem is, fanboys of all consoles tend to over-analyze every piece of data, good, bad or indifferent, and something like a 2k boost has to be effected by something, when it's not really all that serious.  A bump that small in magnitude is minute.  now if it jumped to 20k that'd be a difference, but that 2k bump is nothing.  People tend to overthink things that are simply anomalies in data.

I think GTAIV's effect was very muted due to the fact that it launched on two separate consoles.  It gave both a boost, but a moderate one.  Had it been exclusive, it would have gave on console a considerable boost.

By no means do I think that MGS4 = GTA IV but with this bundle coming out, and rumours of replenishment of the bundles (much like the Motorstorm one), it could do well, since the 80 gig was selling very well...  

And with Microsoft sales not looking too good next to the PS3 (only led by a few hundred last month), with (arguably) the biggest game the PS3 will see this year, I think it will move lots of consoles, but what do I know, I'm no analyst.

True that no way MGS4 will help the PS3 double 360 sales lol
