Sony and MS both have been ignoring the Wii this entire generation, so PR like this should be a shock to anyone.
Sony dropping the price of PS2 is to help clear large stockpiles that have recently accumulated over the last few quarters. I think this a good move for Sony.
The PS2 is a great console with an amazing library so continuing to sell PS2 hardware will only benefit Sony in the long run. Considering that they do not plan on bringing BC to the PS3 this move is not surprising.
The 360 is selling extremely well so a PR response like this is expected. What do people expect them to say?
