OT: I think they should and worry more about making a profit then getting more consoles out there but I guess they have the mind state that they don't wanna "lose"

Well I can't disagree with the facts lol!

A corp should stop fighting for the market...LOL!

No ms wants to get second, so let ms keep on competing.

let them fight, it's better for us. they need to suck up to us and set the bar higher and higher

I hope it continues so they keep droping their prices. That's always a win for the customer!

Well I would say that is what MS did when Sony dropped the price of the PS3. MS decided to enjoy the profitability and allow the PS3 to gain some marketshare with little fighting back in 2009.

Abandoning the fight for marketshare is not abandoning the market. But keeping up the fight is abandoning profit. Both companies are hurting themselves in order to take marketshare from the other, when there is no longer a realistic possibility of either company getting the surge of developer support that they are looking for.

And there are alternatives to competing for this market. They could try and compete for Nintendo's market, for example. Or, they could try create a new market (though, that may be a stretch for either company...).

Whatever option brings more games, exclusives the works is fine by me when it comes to the dual HD's.

Competition is good for us, becose of it we get price cuts, bundels, offers and good qality softwer.
