Additionally, I think some of you are forgetting the WiiU's impact.
MSony will want to have significantly cheaper models of their current systems this year in order to entice users who only have Wiis to not upgrade and instead buy a PS360.
Both will push their large libraries, $100s less for the hardware, similar functionality, bluray (PS3), big networks and apps (360 mostly), etc.
It makes sense for Sony to put out a PS3 model that they can advertise as "Starting at $179!".
