The Yen is an issue when it comes to financial reporting because Sony needs to report financials in its "home currency", but it doesn't necessarily mean they are actually exchanging dollars/euros for yen and realizing a material loss.
I think it will be a $100 drop because the PS3 has a history of outselling the 360 when there is only $100 price difference, see 11/07 - 9/08 sales data. A $50 drop will improve sales, but the 360 will still outsell it.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
