It looks abit like a desperation act to me. Don't get wrong it will help sales, but come on. Not even 3 years old and at $199 already. I reckon it will help the 360 sustain at 150,000 ish. Because Japan is a lost cause really and Europe is on lock down from Sony and Nintendo. United States is where it should help, but who knows.
As for Nintendo, it won't bother them at all. They will be at 320,000 Wii's per week no problem.
Sony will be fine, i mean they are selling a $400 console extremly well, when that hits $199 about 2011 ish and when all the big games are out, i wouldn't be suprised if it could sustain 250,000 a week if not more.
