As with translated interviews I think people should always be careful about reading too much into what they say ...
With that said, I think the Gamecube being a more powerful system at a lower price than the PS2 made Iwata question whether price was ever a major motivating factor in someone buying a system; as long as the price of a console is in a reasonable range to most people a price drop has a limited (sales) benefit, and when you reduce the price of a product you are creating the expectation of further price reductions.
