if Sony drops the PS3's price to $199, i don't see how it won't sell more than last year =)

because at the same time you'll have a $99 Wii and a $150 360 as well as a $300-$400 next gen Nintendo/Xbox/PS4.

so if sony cuts the ps3 to $199 lets say late this year(by announcing a SLIM PS3, the current "slim" is just a redesigned model to introduce a minor brand change) would nintendo have that $99 wii ready? The $150 360 is probable, if this were to happen, but it wont compete with the ps3 outside of the U.S considering it's $150 in many places outside of the U.S(and I doubt a minor cut would change much, unless microsoft sells it for $99) especially in japan, were the ps3 has the most room to grow

and the first nexgen system may not be here until mid to late next year

Let's be realistic. There is no way Sony will have a $100 price cut; $50 at most. With that we know the others will match (Wii is already rumored to be dropping $50).

While there will be an immediate bump in sales, regardless of the amount, previous price cuts on any system have proven that only lasts 4-8weeks. Then it goes back to where it was before.
