Go look at the Xbox after its first ($300-$200) price drop, and GameCube's drop ($200-150).
Big difference, and destroys your "analysis".
Xbox was DOA in the US until the price drop. It dropped each month, and in April before the drop, was at 80,000 FOR THE MONTH. MS dropped the price, and it increased to 160,000 units/mo, and never ever dropped from there.
www.vgcharts.com has the info.
Summary: Price drops help weaker systems maintain some sort of decent sales, and can help sales maintain momentum, and make a poor selling console (ie, Xbox) sell better.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
