You contradict yourself. Only to the most loyal of fans has the PS brand been degraded. A casual fan doesn't think of PS and think any less of it now.
The most loyal already own it, as do technology junkies. What's left is people who already own another system, gaming newcomers, casual fans, and parents. The reason that people who already own other systems don't own a PS3 is usually because of price; gaming newcomers would be much, MUCH more likely to buy a PS3 if the price is $100 cheaper than if it remains at the same price, so that can only help sales as well; parents[as demonstrated in burgrimmar(sp.?)'s post] can be talked out of purchasing a PS3 for their child simply because of the steeper price, so a more level price would help in that regard; and casuals wouldn't chip out $400+ to buy a system, so a price cut would help that cause also.
Sales will explode with a $100 price cut.
