It's not meant to boost sales, just keep them sustained. If they can do what they did last holiday season then they're doing great.

I mean, in four years X360 only has dropped $100 (from $299 to $199 and $399 to $299), while PS3 in only three years has dropped $300 - from $599 to $299.

The Elite was $480 at launch in the US, so that's a drop of $180.

 

Sony's losses since the PS3 was launched: -

2007 - $2,483,437,762

2008 - $1,330,793,265

2009 - $624,981,361

And yeah, you can say "but MS has made a loss too", but they don't have 2 other profitable consoles on sale at the same time. The PS3 has cost them billions and the Slim is going to lose them even more.
