I hear they are going to bundle copies of Windows 7, Office 2010 and a Zune HD with every Arcade/Elite this Christmas in hopes of countering the PS3 price cut. But im not sure its going to be enough, as the Xbox 360 still costs $300 + $300 (6 years of Live) + $100 wireless + $200 BR. They cannot compete with a PS3 which is 1/3rd the price.

To be honest.  I knew MS was up a creek when Sony released Home.  It has been all downhill from there.

Signs of desperation:

1. Raising the price.

I just call it a case of "Duck season, Wabbit season." Obviously Microsoft thinks that if they once again take the initiative in changing the price, Sony will take the bait and change their price as well. As a 360 loyalist, I can only hope Sony will yell "Duck Season. FIRE!".

2. Predicting the PS3 cut.

3. The design of the Xbox 360.

Microsoft was also under a rock while in that cave.

4. Not announcing games too far into the future.

Well, when they said "10 years plus one day.", I still hold on to the fact that they were talking about the PS2's life span, not the PS3 (duh!). Sony fans really need to be more clear when they talk about 10 year plans, or else I might make an assumption.

5. They just know they haven't got the performance.

Sega does what Nintendon't, so it only makes sense.
