According to that link the ps3 production cost has been cut in half. Idk if sony profits or not from 40 gig ps3 sales but i doubt their losing as much money as may believe. Anyways my point being that sony could do a price drop when the time is needed (MS drops price.) Personally I think sony should drop the price before ms does because theyd be the ones getting most of the attention because they did it first, though i dont think its possible at theis point.

They surely have reduced pricing, however this analysts costs don't take into account packaging, shipping and distribution etc. They will still be losing some money, but obviously not as much. Just remember MS have been doing the same and will always have an advantage.
