Not really. Last fiscal year Sony sold 13 million PS3s. This was a year with a $100 price cut and exclusives releases like Uncharted 2, God of War III, and Final Fantasy XIII in Japan. $199.99 seems like a big drop, but it's not any bigger than the drop last year and Gran Turismo 5 will sell a ton of systems, but not so many that it would amount to the 2 million systems more that Sony plans to ship this year over last. |
Dropping to $199 is a bigger deal because it's a 33% drop versus a 25% drop. If it were $249 to $199 I could see it having less of an impact than the drop to $299, but going straight from $299 to $199 would be pretty big.
But I don't think they're going to do that. There will definitely be a stepping stone between $299 and $199.
