Rumors like this are bad because you get the diehard fans saying "hell, id pay that", then someone over at Sony/Microsoft/Ninty sees it and says "hey, if they want it at that price lets do it".
If the whole internet (sony fans included) reacted negatively to a price, even if the price was just speculative - it would give them a clear and concise message that if they don't make sure the launch price is low, it'll fail - that's te perfect world scenario though, and will never happen.
