Probably not, one thing we have seen in the last decade or so is extremely aggressive holiday discounts/bundles. This hasn't necessarily caused overall demand to be greater but it has caused sales to be more concentrated during the holiday period.
Instead of having a permanent price cut which causes an increase in baseline sales, they have gone with a strategy to have limited time discounts where people rush out to get it before it goes back up.
So if Sony did a permanent price cut than it would have just taken sales from their record holidays and been more evenly distributed throughout the year.
If the $299 price tag was too high for someone than they would have gotten it during one of the various $199/249 discounts, gotten it used or chose an XBO which could easily be found in that price range.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
