I find it strange that Microsoft hasn't done any damage control. This isn't Microsoft's first kick at the console can so do they know something we don't or were they really this unprepared for the PS3 pricing and lack of DRM? I just can't believe that Microsoft didn't play this scenario and wasn't prepared to be undercut in price knowing that Sony would be selling essentially the same hardware minus Kinect. Maybe they are really banking on the casual gamers outnumbering the hardcore. Nobody really foresaw the Wii's massive success when it was introduced and maybe Microsoft is banking on that with Kinect built into every console? I really don't know as I'm no expert on the market but considering Microsoft has more resources than Sony or Nintendo one must think that everything they have done so far has been calculated. I guess we will have to see.

The one thing you can absolutely count on is that Microsoft has more money than Sony and they aren't in the financial trouble that Sony currently is in. If they want to, they're in a position where they could eat the cost in order to level the playing field.
