If the $199 360 for NA is true, do you expect sales to go up considerably?

It will sell more the day it drops, but it will sell considerably less before the price cut. If consumers' expectations of future price decrease sales will decrease in the short term. If they keep dropping the price, they will not be able to sustain high sales because of the consumer's expectations that the price will continue to fall in the near future. They already had basically two price cuts in a year, not a good strategy to continue.

 

Huh?

 

I'm talking about the decrease of the 20GB to $299 in July, and also these rumored price cuts.  This amounts to two "price cuts", whether or not they do decrease the prices of the models later this year doesn't matter, the public already perceives this as a "price cut" in the future, thus having more reservations of buying now.
