I wouldn't be surprised if the PS3s price dropped by 100$ in 2009. I think its more a question of when, rather than if. With the new 45mm CPU and the cost of Bluray dropping quite a bit I don't think its a huge stretch to assume that Sony would be able to drop the price and keep the losses per console low enough that they can make it up with software and accesory sales. I think it would actually be a good strategy for Sony to drop the price soon because I think Hardware will really take off, which means more production which reduces the costs, as well as increases the number of software sales. But everything everyone has sayed so far is an assumption. We don't actually know the exact cost of the PS3 and its parts or whether Sony has a price cut planned or some other strategy up their sleeves.
