Microsoft and Xbox 360 fans have been bragging with the better game line-up, lower price and that the Blu-ray would be a mistake by Sony for the PlayStation 3. Now that Microsoft has more or less lost the edge on these areas, and Blu-ray is proving to be a valuable addition, they once again go for their war fund. While Sony is mostly operating on the consumer electronics market, Microsoft gains huge revenue streams by selling air, namely Windows licenses, for the PC vendors. They have all the money in the world, and while they have done multi billion losses with the Xbox, they are not afraid to do some more damage for their bank balance in hopes of gaining market share on the console market.

The announced price reductions are significant. The 20GB model prices is slashed down by another €80 and the low-end non-hard drive model is reduced by £40 in the UK market. The console market has often been noted as being a very price sensitive business. It remains to be seen how the consumers respond to these changes. Sony has better overall offering with PlayStation 3 at a higher price point, while Xbox with the new prices goes moves closer to the Wii price range. It is speculated that Sony would not respond to the price reductions, at least not immediately. Their focus seems to be on delivering more value with interesting game bundles, like the GT5 Prologue.
