In the last generation over 75% of consoles were sold when they cost $199 or less. In my opinion, the main reason a price lower than $199 is important is that as highly anticipated games get closer to release less people are going to "delay" purchasing your system until it is more affordable; if enough time goes on, and people don't see new games which are as interesting, this delay can become permanent regardless of how many price drops a console has.
Now, I could be wrong but I suspect that in this generation the $250 price that the Wii is selling at is pushing the limit of what could be considered a mass-market price, that there are just enough people willing to stretch to buy a Wii that it can sustain the high sales we have seen. At $299 I think the XBox 360 is still too expensive and a lot of people will continue to "Delay" their purchase as highly anticipated games approach; Microsoft might be able to minimize this if they bundled the XBox 360 with a second controller and a couple of games (potentially your choice of 2 Microsoft published best-seller games).

Bundle 360 with COD 4 and Gears of War. That would be the best two game bundle.

Not everyone likes shooters, and "Mature" games are not appropriate for all gamers!

Offering a selection games would be a good thing.
