dram manufacturers have to retool for the volume standards. Whatever has mass volume decreases in price due to immense competition and economies of scale. When a standard falls away, prices increase quite a bit. Look at ddr2 now for example. Ddr3 will dramatically increase in price in 2015 and beyond. To expect otherwise is insanity, and it quite literally has never happened before.

Economy of scale doesn´t work for a thing that is a commodity because they are already in a very, very large production scale.
The DDR2 price you are thinking is for consumer level standalone products.
Or, if we think in your logic, we have to assume that the CELL BE and Xeno processors prices are dramtically increasing since 2007, as PS3 and XOne are the only ones using those processor (or worst, basically the last one using PowerPC archtecture).
Rest assure the XOne DDR price will no increase.
Besides, the DDR is the lest concern for the XOne price.
