Yeah, I entered the thread to say exactly that. I think they'll just enjoy the profits on $129 PS2 sales for a while and drop the price of PS3, to encourage migration of the mammoth PS2 base.
Wii and low-end 360s (Arcade or whatever they call it) won't be challenging PS2s low price point anytime soon, and parents that want a cheaper console/DVD player for the kids will be drawn to the $129 PS2 for a while still.
