Don't expect PS4/720 to come down in price

You're forgetting Moore's Law. All of the manufacturers listed are legally required to ensure that they meet it. If they don't meet their requirements, the UN security council is definitely going to enforce Moore's Law, and I don't think China or Russia will bother with a veto.

So either they'll have to force ahead with the die shrinks, or switch to Hell based processing, using the blood of virgins to allow for much cheaper processors.

tl;dr - There are lots of people working on this, many of them much smarter than you or I. I doubt very much that there will be years with no progress made in terms of hardware.

You're not funny, and you haven't addressed the obvious physical (silicon atoms are only ~0.5nm apart) and cost (see chart) reasons affecting Moore's law within the next ten years I mentioned. I'm not saying 22nm, 16nm and 11nm can't be done in that time, it's that the cost is so high so as to make shrinking the console CPU to them not actually get a good enough return to be worth doing. The cost and power benefits are NO LONGER "free" like during PS2 and early PS3.

Progress will exist but it will be slower and more expensive. My point is there should be no expectation of price cuts merely because time has passed.
