As far as hardware and cost reductions go PS3 will be cheaper than the Premium 360 in the future. By fall 2009 Sony will have a redisigned PS3 with 45nm Chip set were Cell and RSX are one chip. Blu-ray will be selling at just over DVD level price and the form factor will be less expensive. Ken Kuturagi designed the PS3 with cost reduction in mind. He stated that a lot of what they did was done to help the chip shrinking, rather than because they could not do it. This is the way Ken designed every Playstation. Next October the PS3 will be at 299USD and by Oct 09 it will be at the magical 199USD were it will stick for a good three years.

Wha-what-WHAT?

Seriously, you need to stop it with the PS3 FUD. The PS3 definitely has more bleeding-edge tech and therefore can probably drop in price faster than the 360 but NO WAY IN HELL will it ever be cheaper. That's just a cold, hard fact. For every chip reduction the PS3 sees, the 360 will also get. In case you forgot, BOTH CHIPS ARE MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY USING THE SAME ARCHITECTURE. Sony doesn't magically get a 65/45nm process while MS is left out in the cold with 90nm. In fact, the 360 is shifting to 65nm before the PS3.
