So, I was just looking at pricing histories for various consoles. Here are the first two price drops for each 6th and 7th gen console:
Xbox
$300-$100 (7 months after release)
$200-$20 (19 months after release)
PS2
$300-$100 (18 months after release)
$200-$20 (30 months after release)
Gamecube
$200-$50 (7 months after release)
$150-$50 (23 months after release)
Xbox 360
$300-$20 (21 months after release)
$280-$80 (34 months after release)
PS3
$500-$100 + bigger hard drive (12 months after release)
$400-$100 + bigger hard drive (33 months after release)
Wii
$250-$50 (34 months after release)
$200-$50 (54 months after release)
The trend is that the more expensive a console is to start with, the faster you see price drops. The Original Xbox was the most expensive 6th gen console at the time it launched, it dropped $100 after 7 months, the PS3 was the most expensive 7th gen console, it dropped $100 and gained a bigger hard drive in 12 months. The Xbox One is the most expensive console this generation. Like I said above, I expect we'll see $450 or 400 in time for Holiday 2014, $400 or $350 by Summer 2015, and $350 or $300 by Spring 2016.
