There's been some "mistakes" on Microsoft's part in the recent months concerning it's top racer and Sony's. First there were the screenshots of Microsoft's and Bizarre Creations using PGR3 to promote GTHD, then there was the thing on Microsoft's MSN page promoting GT5 (refs needed) and now there's images of GameStop offering Forza 3 on the PS3.
With the BBB scolding Microsoft on underselling it's system when it launched and with Sony now on equal playing field AND with Sony beating them in the format wars, could Microsoft secretly be in talks with Sony to possibly conceed defeat.
There were also rumors that Microsoft was working on a BD-ROM equipped Xbox shortly after HDDVD died, which MS later denied. Perhaps by "Blu-ray equipped Xbox" they meant "PS3" or "PS4".
Of course, this is purely speculation, but the original X-box only did marginally well with Halo being it's major selling point. 360 did a little better, but the system has cost MS somewhere around $10-$15 million dollars to get it running correctly (which, it appears, it is.) You know you're system isn't working when you have to impliment a failure message into the LIGHTS of your system. If I were Microsoft, I might throw in the towel, too, and partner with the nearest competitor.
After all, Microsoft has had great success with software in the past. They would probably do better than Sega is.
