You will always get an immediate sales spike which is followed by a return to more 'normal' sales for a product after a price cut. With how 'small' the PS3's price cut was, and that it is still a very expensive system, I expect that sales will not have improved that much a couple of weeks from now ...

You've said precisely same thing about PSP's price drop... Hmm, PSP still sells better...


Is it? 

PSP sales for the week of April 29th (this is before the price drop):

130,82320,691,834

PSP sales for July 1st:

145,58322,018,924

PSP sales for June 24th:

135,02321,873,341

As you can see, since the price drop the sales boost ranges from 4% to 11%, a very small small increase for a nearly 1/6th price sales drop.  Hrmm, interesting.  Look at the PS3 now.  I'd say I'm being VERY generous giving them a 10% to 20% sales boost lifetime for a 1/6th price drop to $500.  I should probably re-adjust my estimate lower truthfully, but I'll stick with it.  I have faith that it will help some.
