On the higher end models they could have maybe cut price, but not on the Arcade. By late 2008(?) it was at the $200 price and if they kept cutting the price they would have undervalued their product and I feel would have probably shortened it's life span.
Not cutting the price further was, I think, a great decision on their part. They instead decided to focus on adding value to those price ranges rather than just dropping price to entice customers and you know what, it worked.
Now with the 720 on the horizon a new cut would make sense as a $150 entry price would look very enticing against the newly released 720 which may cost ~$350-$400. Whichever they buy MS will be happy as those 360 buyers may eventually migrate to the 720 when the price drops in the future.
