@vGInfidel, I think they (Sony & Microsoft) can afford a $100 drop, but no more than that. Of course they will be losing (more) money that way, but the impact should be bigger.
Of course, taking into consideration the last gen example of GCN dropping to $99 and not getting significant long term H/W sales increase, it is still questionable whether $100 price cut for those 2 will have the long term impact I hope for. But I think it will help more, since US is in a financial crisis ATM.
