You are missing the point. You cut prices when people aren't buying consoles. That is why price cuts traditionally happen in May.

Also, the end of the fiscal year for Nintendo and Sony are on March 31st, so there is a lot more news about the company as a whole around that time, so they want to increase their stock prices. And the process of making parts of the products get cheaper as more and more new machines come out. As in a new silicon chip is going to be made that greatly reduces the overall cost to make Blu-Ray Diodes, so there will be more on the market, and they will be cheaper, starting in April, so the price of the PS3 may drop quicker than originally thought.
