The fact is the SCEA or PS2 division can only keep Sony afloat for so long, if these investments don't pay off there screwed. I think that MS it won't matter how much they lose this round they went in planning on losing major amounts of cash. There planning a long haul they know the importance of this market and the fact that its still in its infantcey and will record growth for many years to come. If MS sees a weakness they will exploit it. Since SCEA is the ONLY place sony is making a profit they couldn't afford to lose money as MS can lose ALOT and ALOT more if it thought it could force SONY out.

MS needs to have this market and I think they will do whatever it takes, Sony needs to reorganize refocus and get there company out of the red, focusing to much on the console may make them a console only company.
