PS3 can still finish in first place.

$299 was the mass-market price for the PS3. It was much less daunting to buy a console that's $299 instead of $399.

Both the 360 and the Wii dropped down to the supposed mass-market price, yet neither saw increased sales for a prolonged time.

We can't say that $299 is the mass market price for the PS3 because we haven't seen how it can perform at the lower points of $250, and more importantly $199. The 360 did (and still is doing) perform exceptionally well. The Wii didn't.

The 360 continued to get excellent support though, which is what kept sales so good. And it actually increased in price in the UK.

Then I suppose this is a stalemate, though I believe a $100 pricecut isn't going to boost sales and stabilize at a much higher level afterwards.
