if the cost of manufacturing goes down signifcantly then i don't see why Sony wouldn't make a new slim model price it $199 and when they announce PS4 drop PS3 price to $149.
price-cutting PS3 at the launch would only go against PS4 like the nintendo 3DS which is happening now
PS3 would go to $149 2 years before PS4 to earn PS3 some good sales in that time
i say PS4 at last will launch in 2014

don't see it unless the slim model cuts cost significantly.

why won't the cost go down: didn't say it wouldn't. the most logical step would be through a slim model.
RSX and CELL size reduction would help alot: agreed but we have more reports of a new PSthree the new chip sizes.
die size reduction: agreed the only way for a significat price cut.
volume manufacturing: i'm sure there will be an increase in volume with price cuts and and cost of manufacturing down.
follow the price reduction from PS3's launch and you will understand: the price reduction over the yrs is the only bad point you've made nobi. the price reductions came inpart by a need to sale consoles, not because Sony needed to so that point holds no weight. we don't have a pattern for Sony to go by.
PS3 was making under $10 profit at $299 price in Q1(Jan-Mar2010) last year,it was mentioned by CFO of SONY.after that they had RSX size reduction.alot of PS3 have been manufactured since then so parts becoming common hence cheaper.the recent die reduction in new PS3 which took it from 3.2kg to 2.6kg: so we're looking at $20 to $50 a console? do you think Sony is willing to take a lose on PS3 now? next yr looks to be the best time and Sony would likely break even with a price drop to $199 next yr. so 2014 still looks to be the yr for a $149 pricedrop and a PS4 launch, or a pricedrop to $199 2012 then one to $149 in 2013 for either a PS4 launch in 2014 or 2013.
and we still have 1 year before september 2011: i know you mean 2012 or do you mean 1 month? whts so special about 2012 if your talking about 2012. if you do mean 2011 september, i know we have alot of goodies to look forward to which should help sale the PS3. are you tiking the pricedrop will come in september?
