Exactly.
The strategists are determining whether or not to drop, but they probably don't have much leeway to do so. If they get pwned in September NPD, it will be chalked up to the price drop, but losing October/November/December NPD would make them price drop... But let's not get ahead of ourselves. If the price drop does minimally, and PS3 and 360 are close, even if PS3 loses NPD, they won't price drop, but if 360 wins by like 100k or something crazy like that, a price drop would be imminent.
But we won't really see the effects of this until January or February, as holiday sales will help bolster PS3 higher too... Should be interesting October (Sept NPD)...
