"Wii and PS3 are going to kill XBox360. Unless, of course, Microsoft does what it does best and copies the Wii controller ..." Microsoft is getting ready to cut prices. Currently, Microsoft makes abouts $75 per console. Which is unusual in the console market. Sony is losing about $300 per console for the high end one and about $350 a unit for the cheapy. All these are estimates based on tear downs. If Microsoft cuts prices by about $100, then even Wii will be feeling some pressure. Now Wii can survive. PS3 is a bigger question mark. Even if the field is more level, it all comes down to content. PS3 is apparently a nightmare to program. So, despite the incentives, games are slow coming out for PS3. And that will hurt more than pricing and low availability.
