I think this is more of Sony and to a certain extent Microsoft putting a floor on the price of their systems because they dont want to destroy an industry that is already in shambles with more and more price cuts.
I'm sure if you cut through the Sony hate (damn if they do or dont) and console fanboyism you can clearly see that.
Both systems will most likely have new variations coming out in the next 12-18 months so having a set price and not changing it would make the most sense if you dont want to your industry to decline 20% every month.
The new PS3 looks to be production efficient while keeping its price, means they are not sacrificing margins and the same price means they see no real threat from the Wii U in its first year in terms of amount of consoles sold.
