I think we're more likely to see "value added" measures and a $50 price cut than a $100 cut from Sony which to me, with PS3 down 1m YOY in Apr-Jun means a price cut.
There are rumors that independent trade shops in the UK won't stock the PSP, and that French retailers have no interest in selling the device. I expect it to do well in Japan but I dont think Sony should be real optimistic outside Japan.
Its starting to look like 2008 was the hardware peak for this round of machines (DS/PSP/360/PS3/Wii) so I'm actually more interested in software trends at this point. We could end up seeing the Wii, DS, PS3 and 360 all top 500m units of software (DS/Wii are givens) which is unbelievable considering last generation only PS2 was within a whiff of 500m sw.
