I read in one magazine (PC Answers) that MS are willing to give 360s away to take more of the market.

considering they're losing money anyways on the console, why not?

as long as ps3 seems oblivious to the threats on their market share i think microsoft can do great this next generation.

they have the hardware (some people agree, some don't) and the software. plus, they have built up recognition and have momentum going into the launch.

basically, the only place they would need to "give em away" is probably japan, their weakest market.
