If you are referring to the boost a $50 price cut would give... whoever mentioned it earlier was referring to a sustained boost of 40%. A sustained boost of 100% would be unprecedented for a small cut like that. (The PS3 slim re-design in September 2009 also came with a $100 price cut and managed to make around a 150% boost for the rest of the year (calculated by comparing with the previous years sales)... That was a double whammy of new slim design, and an even bigger price cut by $ and %.)
Sure the first week or two would see a boost above 100% (ie over double the previous weeks), but a 20% cut alone would be lucky to push over a 50% sales boost for the remainder of the year unless the cut was made in December (ie when there isn't enough time left in the year for sales to stabilise).
