When the PS3 was released, the PS2 was sold at 105 millions.

They cut the price and the PS2 continued to have good sales

But that had muxh more to do with the PS3 costing so much initially that nobody could afford it. The sales of the PS2 went down on a trajectory that implies that the pricecut didn't do very much to the sales in the end, having contributed to about 7-10M total max.

Sure it was something important

But I know a lot of people that had a Gamecube and bought a PS2 because it was sold new at only 69€ 

They bought it just for exclusive games
