In theory the damage and benefit should offset each other. During the weeks leading up to the price drop sales will undoubtedly drop, but you gain the mass publicity from gaming sites as well as giving people who are enticed by this new price time to prepare for a purchase. Also brings attention slightly away from the PS3/Vita price cuts.
I wouldn't personally go with such a strategy, but I can certainly understand some of the logic they may have used.
