While everyone is predicting Sony to drop PS3 price by $50-$100, don't forget MS has room to do the same thing on their Pro and Elite models.
Regardless of what Sony will do, MS will likely drop the price of the pro 360 to $249 during 3rd/4th quarter 09. The system is bundled with 2 games, so they can just take away one or both games and chop off $50 tomorrow.
Market share is also dependent on mind share as someone here had said. And mind share is also a factor of public perception on the health of the company. Sony is in really critical condition in this regard. It will be very difficult for the turn the perception tide when even Japanese analysts are calling on Sir Howard Stringer to do a revolutionary shake up of the company.
Most major successful company seems to go through a critical period once every several decades. Apple went through it. HP went through it. IBM went through it. GM, FORD, Chrysler, are trying to go through it. And surely Sony is having a hard time going through it. I wish Sony the best of luck as they deserve to remain a top name in electronics.
