That means that my PS3 isn't $600 anymore
The PS3 would have gone down in pricing anyhow. The console was launched with state of the art technologies (Blu-Ray, advanced low latency Ram, the Cell processor, etc) and many extras compared to the competition (default harddrive, Wi-Fi, BlueTooth, card readers, HDMI, etc), actually normally this would have costed much more considering the involved R&D and component costs.
Sony is continuosly making the PS3 more efficient and cheaper to mass produce, that would have happened regardless, just like the PS1, PS2 and PSP. Just a bit faster as the PS3 included newer technology and was further away from game console pricing sweetspot upon launch.
