Both PS1 and PS2 reduced price between 6 months and one year after release .Sony has already cut some costs removing the EE and with the 65Nm Cell ,plus the better fabrication costs due to more success in the replication of consoles and components .I dont see impossible a price cut for september or october .If they see things in a bad light they will do it ,its always preferable to take a hit in each console that finally not selling them and taking all the cost as a hit ...plus each console sold start to attract royalties per game sold and per BR film sold ...
