Microsoft has no reason to be scared

Right now you get better value and bang for your buck buying a PS3 over the Elite. The problem for Sony is that it might have overtake the 360 in sales for about the same amount of time that the 360 overtook the PS3 when it had its price drop. This wont change the fact the 360 owners buy more games on their system, and multiplats will continue to sell better on the 360. So I do see a shift in sales for the upcoming months, but nothing that will make up the 8 million console difference that currently exists, and you can bet that MS willl counter with another price drop and this will be the trend. Its a little too late IMO for SONY, I think they should of acted more swiftly to overtake the 360. I find it comical that people think the PS3 slim is going to compete against the Wii, which far and away won this gen hands down and will not be overtaken by either MS or SONY. So basically its good news for the consumers, but status QUO for the big boys.

I agree with your thread title. as for your post...it can be debated(i wont). it seems like every time theres a price drop its "oh noes, teh (MS/SONY) is doomzorz." it gets really out of hand. i want ms and sony to survive as long as possible so they can continue copying eachother (and ninty) thus making my prefered console(ps3) that much better.mclovin401
