Sqrl, in regard to how fast the cost of production will drop:
Have you taken into account how bleeding-edge the PS3's technology was? Sure, the PS2 had a DVD drive, but other than that it had nothing to really brag about AFAIK. Blu-ray was even newer and more expensive at PS3 launch than DVD was at PS2 launch, and it also had the Cell etc. (Whether or not the architecture is hard to exploit for games, it's hard to deny that it was a lot more powerful than the PS2 stuff was for its time -- or so I've been given to understand.)
I think we can definitely expect the PS3 to hit $250. After that, I think it will manage to get down to $225 before the next consoles come out, and that it may or may not reach $200.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
