hypothetical PS3 price cut, which would have a better impact?

[amirnetz]

Come on - this is kind of a silly question. The larger price decrease and the earlier the more impact on the sale Sony will get.

Dropping the price by $50 will achieve very little. It will still be $199 vs $350. Huge difference. The only way to make an impact is to drop the price by $100.

Of course, that will translate to $1B of lost revenue, which in turn will translate to 30,000 employess fired to make up for the lost, but I guess it is not what you asked.
