Historically, the sweet spot has been $199, not $299, and that hasn't been working so well for the 360 Arcade: it got a bit of a boost, but it's still getting thrashed.
Microsoft once said that 75% of a console's sales come when it falls below $200. If that's true, then we might see a boost in PS3 sales then (and if it's true the Wii is in for one hell of a ride).
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
