@BKK2: That's what I've been thinking for a long time. My reasoning was that they maybe wouldn't want Nintendo to get all the shine this summer, so if the rumoured new PSP model and this PS3 price cut are true, that's indeed the bet they can do to stop their products from falling too far behnd once WSR and M+, MH3 and KH, Blood of Bahamuth and DQIX are released for both Wii and DS respectively.
When I made that list of upcoming Japnese games, I also found it weird to see so many PS3 games so close together and also so close to WSR launch. I asked if a pricecut was announced for that date, but it's all speculation what I got for answers. What you say makes sense, so a pseudo price drop with many new games and then a new model can do a lot to help PS3 to dropping to abysmal terrible levels and to stop Nintendo from building too much momentum. If that's what they're planning, then that's the right move.
