Your main premise is correct of course, only price cuts can have a lasting effect on hardware sales. Though if popular exclusives released every month for a year that would cause a lot of temporary spikes, which collectively would amount to a sustained increase in sales. But who has the resourses to release 12 popular exclusives in a year?
