It's not entirely pointless. While I agree that this does not signal "the end" for Wii, it does show a noteworthy increase in Xbox 360 interest.
Is it all because of the reliability issues? Well, none of the first two pages of results for a Google search of "Xbox 360" returns anything about warranty, repairs, or RROD, and that was far and away the most popular search term according to the article.
I suspect that a $50 price drop would have a decent effect - it's not as big as it could be, but I'm willing to bet there are a decent number of would-be customers just waiting for a drop.
