If they dropped the price another $100 down to $300, it would outsell the 360's $300 version easily, unless ofcourse we factor in momentum of the 360 as you like to talk about so much. If the price cut comes too late, or isn't big enough, it won't matter. If the PS3 drops price, and it starts affecting the 360's sales, they will drop the price again, thus putting Sony in an even bigger hole.
Also, Skee, in order for Sony to drop the price $100, they either a) take a huge $120+ loss per console again or b) gut the thing by taking out Wi-Fi, giving it a smaller HDD, or something else to lower the cost. If Sony guts the PS3 to drop it down to the 360, what would it be? A 360 with Blu-Ray and less games. Add in the option of 360 users to get unlimited HD streaming for $9 a month (much cheaper than Blu-Ray), and I'm sure they will still choose the 360.
At this point, no matter what Sony does, MS can answer back and help dig Sony's grave a little bit deeper.
