I agree, I just whole-heartedly believe that price is the absolute major contributing factor to whether a videogame system sells or not. I also believe that price drops will cause short-term spikes in sales but won't cause a huge market share difference unless the price goes down to a really low point. The Wii launched at <I>less than half</I> the price of one of its competitors and is still the cheapest console out there, hence the 360 and PS3 price drops not causing a huge difference. When the Gamecube dropped to $99, the PS2 and XBox were still $200. Another console for <I>half</I> the price of its competitors...and then the GC boomed in sales because of it.
