Cost to manufacture is only one aspect the other being overheads. Also although we believe the original console cost $800 to make this is only an educated guess.

I think if we take Sony as a whole it is extremely unlikey they will reduce prices by that much even if the numbers stacked up as the money will be needed elsewhere in the same division or other divsions within Sony.

If they can afford the $100 price cut then that will be all you will see as it does not make commercial sense to enter into a price war with Microsoft and potentially Nintendo. I think personally they have done the right thing by delaying the price cut for as long as they were able.
