Hurt was probably the wrong term ...

In the short run you will always see a spike in sales from a price cut, but in the longer term there can be no noticeable improvement if people doubt the popularity of the system; if Sony dropped the price again, every news story about it would talk about how rapid and unprecidented these price reductions were, how NPD data shows the PS3 being dominated by both the XBox 360 and Wii, and how desperate Sony must be to save the Playstation brand (these types of comments do not improve people's impression on how popular the system is).

As I said before, the only way Sony could pull this off is if it is in response to Microsoft cutting the price of the XBox 360 ...

dude....do u even read THIS SITE... the ps3 for like a month now has outsold the 360... and if you think that wasnt because of the 40 gig price drop to 400 bucks just look at ps3 sale on THIS SITE before the price drop..... i mean they sold like 80k a wek on all 3 regions....why did sales pick up....and STAY up because of a price drop................

 You do realize that there is something called the Holidays, right? It consists of things like Thanksgiving(Black Friday), Christmas and New Years...
