From an industry standpoint I'd certainly say the price drops have helped PS3 gain traction.

However, from a company executive standpoint, while they are necessary sacrifices (and an inherited problem for Kaz), they are still made of pure FAIL.

Two $100 price drops in a single year on a system that started out losing $240 a unit, and they still can't really catch weekly 360?

I mean, they've lost billions in a single year, and while this isn't Kaz's fault and is at this point unavoidable, it's certainly his responsibility that those financial sacrifices put them on top, which they're nowhere near doing. It makes you think what else he has planned to shift the momentum further, because I can't think of anything nearly as big as a $200 price drop.
