I would think it would jump-start sales, which means more people have the base, and thus a broader base for EPs and stuff packs. Additionally, since people only had to spend $20.00 on the base, they might be more likely to spend the difference on expansions/stuff packs.

I think EA would gain a lot of customers if they did lower the price point, like you said. I know a few people who would really love to have TS4, but they aren't willing to pay the high price for it.
