At what point do price drops become desperation and a joke?

PS3 and Xbox 360 both have had or are about to have price drops of some sort.

If Microsoft lowered the price of an XBox360 to $10 and therefore took a huge lead in the console wars numbers would it be a victory?

At what point does it become a desprate measure and a joke?

With most products I'm sure 'when it loses money' would be the answer.

 OMG!  The mercedes dealer here in town had a price drop... Oh wait, they are trying to clear inventory?

 Every product has a price drop eventually and only a rare exception would it not.  Name one console that was successful that never had a price drop?  When the Wii cuts their price can I call that a desperation move or a joke?

 Then again, the joke is on Wii owners who are paying $250 for a souped up $50 gamecube with a motion controller that costs maybe $50.

 We are talking about jokes?  Right?   Anyone?

 Me so sorry, but I couldn't help it. 

Your so right..... and its a argue to myself of why i wont by a wii yet, look at the other consoles 400 and 600 and they are still losing money, and you have this little machine that costs barely anything to make and yet its selling millions I DONT UNDERSTAND SOMEONE SHOW ME THE LIGHT......

Well besides that people like the idea of motion controls /sigh and the fantastic games such as zelda, ssb, mario etc (which are some of the best titles EVER) O.o
