Microsoft still holds the record and will probably do so forever. In Europe, the Xbox received its first official price cut after only three weeks: down to €299 from €479.

The GC beat it.

Yeah, I knew about the pre-emptive price cut the Gamecube received, but nobody got hurt, so why count it? Especially when the context of the conversation was about price cuts after launch.

This wasn't about hurting early adopters. The original quoted person was mainly implying that the 3DS's ill-performance was unprecedented if you judge it by how early a price cut occurs. I think that my GC example is very relevant in this context.
