Well, if m$ has an arrogant position then Sony will beat them. Personally I prefer a $300 Ps3 than a $300 360 despite the 360 has a better library than the ps3. But thats my opinion.

Microsoft has nothing to be scared of, they have done great this gen, and the whole company is making a profit, Sony on the other hand is playing catch up, trying to survive, they are the ones who are making a loss, the whole company is making a loss, and MS stole thir shine this gen,

.

Sony should be scared, MS is playing it cool right now, but they do have the financial power to go overkill with their consoles business plans, and put Sony in an even worse position, can you imagine what would happen if Bill Gates gets personal with the whole "System Wars" thing, he'll murder Sony's gaming division, remember Netscape? Remember them? It got personal and MS murked them, so NO, MS is not afraid of Sony, they are playing it cool, which is good because I dont want to see Sony get out of the industry,

Nah, I think it's called "being competitive". Everyone does it these days, so I guess it's the cool thing to do when you are a multi-billion dollar company trying to sell a product.

I'm sure they are not. I think the better word is they are "aware" of Sony if you guys get what I mean.

Microsoft does not get afraid, just annoyed that some one is delaying their global take over.8)

Well.........

Any cooperation should have a healthy amount of respect for their competition. That's just common sense.

System wars is becoming a sad, sad place. Why do people act like these companies are run by system wars fanboys?? MS is just trying to stay competitive.............just like sony was doing when they cut the price in the FIRST YEAR. How on earth did TC manage to single out MS??:|

It's really annoying though. It's like Microsoft makes all their decisions just to take away arguments from the Cows. They are doing it too often and too well to be happening on accident. :|

Because he's under the misguided assumption that Sony is still somehow the leader of the video game market. Especially when the reality is that Sony is the one trying to catch up. Maybe Sony is the company that's afraid of MS, so they had to cut price in order to try to stay in the game. That's a more realistic scenario this generation.
