I would say that, if things come out as you say, Sony would get screwed big time. 2010 without mass market prices would be deadly for the PS3.

Whats mass market price these days ?

 

The generally accepted answer is 199, but we'll see if that's true this time around.

That was for the number for the last gen was it not ? With the prices i see many electronics at, good bet is it will be higher.

Then theres the whole value thing, if consumer thinks a PS3 is a great buy at 399 or 299 at 199 its a freaking steal.

 

It's possible, but 199 has been the sweet spot for several generations, not just the last one. PS1 and PS2 both really took off at 199. 

So it's not like it's been gradually growing every generation -- 99 for the SNES/Genesis, 149 for the PS1/N64, 199 for the PS2/GC/Xbox -- it's been pretty stable at 199 for a long time. So again -- possible, but I'd say unlikely.
