While a price drop will spur sales its not 100% certain its enough. Its ignorant to think that and obviously anyone that thinks without a doubt that a price cut will put the PS3 ahead of the 360 (In total numbers) isn't looking at worst case scenario let alone what will actually happen.
The 360 price cut wasn't just any price cut. It was a price cut to get it to mass market level. a $299 still isn't mass market. and with Sony announcing they plan to make a profit sometime in 2010 ... if a price drop is due soon they are only going to make bigger losses.
and please no *Sony is bringing out so and so chip, bringing costs down* Sony have said THEMSELVES, they will not make a profit on the PS3 this year. This could be due to a price cut, making the PS3 sell at a loss (still) but in my eyes it would be a stupid choice, the PS3 is selling OK. It just looks worse when compared to YOY stats and Wii and 360 numbers.
Don't tell me we wouldn't be having the same discussion if by somehow the market grew so big the Wii sold a million the 360 800k and the PS3 400k.
