Of course, if Pachter is right, the next gen consoles could have a much longer life-cycle than normal, as they wouldn't see same-brand replacements. Not that I expect that, however.
What about the PS3's future, though? Will they go back to their plans when projected costs are less? While I personally think they shouldn't cut current gen console prices until after next gen consoles launch, they can't leave the PS3 at that price forever. I have no idea what plans Microsoft has for the 360.
I suppose my normal strategy of "wait a year for the redesign and price" is out the window, then? That's a shame. Still, with both Sony and Microsoft as customers, won't this be a high level priority for AMD?
