Sony's plan was pompous because they assumed everyone would buy their high price solution and so it would demolish the competiion, which turned out to be drivel. There was a real arrogance there, and it has already not worked for them.
But I cannot divine the motivation behind Microsoft's move. A new console in two years time, making the 360 six years old, not bad, could have utterly destroyed Sony's entire stance by being embarrassingly better than the PS3.
New PS3 Includes MGS 4 And Killzone 2
If you've ever wondered how would Sony respond to the increasing pressure from gamers and game developers alike, asking for Playstation 3 price cut, the answer is here: an incredible bundle for the price of standalone console.Photos leaked by a Best Buy employee -and later confirmed by other employees of the store- revealed that a new bundle that includes both Metal Gear Solid 4 and Killzone 2 along with an 80 GB Playstation, is set for release next week for $400.
$400 US i bet......

The notion that you need at least a 80" screen to appreciate differences in resolution is so untrue it's almost infuriating.
you do know I'm talking about higher resolution than 1080p? like 2k or 4320p... try watching that on a 50" display...extra HD completely wasted
you can hardly notice the difference between 720p & 1080p on a 40-something inch TV... unless of course you're standing 5" away from the screen

Really?I heard otherwise. I was watching CO-OP, a show done by the same guys who did the 1UP show and I heard that it was pretty close. Maybe not exact, but very close.

Well, I'll guess we'll see. Here is IGN AU's comment:
"The control feels good in the sense that your movements correspond to responsive action onscreen, but the gameplay relies on high speed waggling and luck far more than skill, and the control isn't actually 1:1, which means it's less intuitive than it could be. So how does it work? Want to raise the 'sword' up to block an attack? You can't just raise it up, you have to hold B to defend, which will then allow you to position it horizontally above your head.
When not holding B, you're attacking and there's no collision detection with your opponent's sword unless he's blocking. Even when he is blocking, the detection is simplistic – a horizontal block will deflect a vertical attack and vice versa. Hit an opponent's sword when he's blocking and you'll be momentarily stunned, giving him a window to get a hit in. The problem is that you can move your sword so fast that successful blocks come down almost entirely to luck. There's simply no way for a player to tell whether his opponent will attack horizontally or vertically (well, aside from against the computer, as they signpost their attacks), so your only option is to guess. Duels more often than not devolve into short-lasting waggle-fests. Wasn't the point of MotionPlus to have less waggling? "
