lol, no. $200 is the sweet spot.
That's what everyone tries to get below for consoles. $299 is what PS2 launched at.
360 did well, because it had an offering at the $199 level.
... and there are NOT 120 million PS2 owners that havn't upgraded to something by now and most of those aren't waiting for a $300 console. They're waiting for a $150 one.
Man I can't wait for things to return to normal in a couple of weeks for everyone to realize the error of "price cut will save the PS3" logic.
Its a temporary measure, not a value creator.
Hell, GT5 and FF13 will have a bigger effect on PS3 sales.
