If this is real, there is no guarantee it will increase sales dramatically. People aren't waiting for the PS3 to become cheaper or get more games. They're making decisions on what console they want and sticking with. Most are choosing the Wii first and the 360 2nd. A new design won't change that.
Price could be a factor, but not as much as some of you think. The PS3 at $299 is still not cheap. The 360 Arcade dropped $100 but sales didn't skyrocket. They improved, though. And that is still a price cheaper than $299. And MS and Nintendo ARE in a better position to cut prices than Sony due to Sony's losses as a company (which were released today if you didn't already know). PLUS there is still rumbles about a 360 redesign coming as well, even though they've been quiet for a number of months (and we all know MS can't keep too many secrets).
Be realistic about this, folks.
