actually no its not because it has not dropped the price at all. wii is controlling the market not the price. if wii was 300 it still be selling.
sony needs blu-ray to take off and needs ps3 to do that and will not have all 3rd parties leaving... 3rd parties want an install base and sony will make sure that happens because being the leaders in the next gen DVD and the game wars is more important then making the ps3 profitable right now. and remeber the only divison to lose money is the game dividson so sony has huge bank accounts and have made money year on out as a whole company because of its other divisons. remeber when the ps3 launched it loss 200 bucks a system. it cost sony 800 to produce and sold it for 600. now its a fact that it cost them 400 bucks to make a system... that means the 80 gig is being sold for a profit RIGHT NOW. there fore if they drop the price 100 bucks they will lose half as much as the did before and sell a hell of a lot more. its a smart move and id say it will happen this year count on it.
