I will say the big thing for Sony in 2011 is going to be the $299 PS3 with Move and $249 PS3 without it. The $100 price cut is going to be on the Move SKU which they will focus on for 2011 in order to broaden their market. That way they can go a little down market and capture more of the price concious people whilst maintaining their pricing with a $20 accessory and therefore keeping their overall margins higher because the $299 SKU will remain the main console sold.
Such a price cut can happen any time they want however they won't violate the 90? day price assurances many people have from stores so it is unlikely to happen in Q1 which leaves either April, June at E3 or September as the 3 likely dates.
Tease.
