I don't think there's any chance we'll see $800 consoles, but when it comes to the pricing for next-gen consoles I can see it go either way. Companies now-a-days are making huge profit margins, so they don't necessarly need to have their consoles cost $500/600 in order for make alot of money. With the economy the way it is, people are more tempted to buy consoles which are cheaper. However gaming companies also have large fanbases, so even if they did rack up the price (not to the extent of $800, but maye in the $500-600 region) I'm willing to bet a large amount of people would still buy them. I mean, apple is a prime example of this.
