| What's a good way to make a Super Nintendo decidedly less fun? Modify it to

Microsoft: XBox 360 Price Drop Won't Fix Broken Strategy

| So in the end, it doesn’t matter if the 360 is $50 or even $100 less.
| Ultimately, the price cut will just reveal how niche the system has become.
|
| Exactly. Come on, guys. The blogosphere, be it the guys at GigaOM, Chris
| Kohler at Wired Game I Life or myself, have come up with some pretty rational
| approaches for how you can get it together. Unfortunately, however, our
| protestations seem to fall on deaf ears. Best of luck with your "winning
| strategy." I guess you know best.

Barron's Battle Goes Another Round
,----[ Quote ]
| The contretemps between The Business Press Maven and Barron's turned a bit
| ugly in recent days, even degenerating into a Barron's reporter putting a hex
| on Alex Rodriguez as I headed toward what I hoped to be his 500th home run.
| The hex, I'm sorry to report, worked.

Stop the Barron's Microsoft Series
,----[ Quote ]
| That particular story about how Microsoft was still a growth stock was dated
| July 26, 2004. Between then and now, it bears mentioning, Microsoft's stock
| price has been stuck in the mud, barely budging in a market that has flown
| to the heavens.
|
| But a horrid call, even made twice, is forgivable. What got me was that
| somewhere else in my steel trap of a mind was the memory of yet a third big
| bullish profile in Barron's by Savitz about how Microsoft was, uh -- hey,
| you're really catching on here -- still a growth stock! That was
| titled "Pointing Up," from a bit over a year ago, April 3, 2006.
|
| The Business Press Maven has a couple of concerns here. These articles appear
| written from the same template, without enough new information to merit such
| repetition, especially this latest one.
|
| Stop the presses! A company stated publicly that it was still relevant! It is
| overkill, boosterism. Microsoft has a public relations department that takes
| care of that; it does not need outside help.
