Hmm, Sony cut $100 late 2009, another $100 in 2011, that's $200 in the space of 24 months, hefty ... their PS division is barely breaking even at this point, and with PSP2 coming out (and psphone) we don't know if they're making a loss on those products. It could very well be a $100 cut for PS3, but Sonys financials would be hurting.
Wii, yeah that seems about right, they have no upper model to make good revenue on like the 360 and PS3, so slashing to $99/$129, although they could afford it, would leave them with little profit/revenue on HW, essentially throwing away money. A $50 cut would be effective for them. Like pacter said, they'll likely cut around the launch of the next Wii.
360, who knows, MS can afford a hefty cut, they're division is profiting very well right now, say they cut in September, it'll have been 3 years since they went $250 > $200. We could well see
Arcade - $129
Arcade Kinect bundle - $199
250G - $199
250G Kinect bundle - $250
Kinect could get $20 knocked off, not $50 though, selling far too well for that.
