I can see where he's coming from, though. They've never dropped the Pro by more than $50 at one time ($399 > $349 > $299), and I don't see why they'd do it now, especially when $50 now makes up a far larger percentage of the system's price than it did previously.
The farthest they've ever dropped the price of one SKU at one time was $80 (Arcade $279 > $199). A $100 cut off the Pro (33%) seems entirely unnecessary.
