People will know about the price drop when they'll see it at e3/Tv, in fact, i think most casual gamers wont know until e3.

You'd be surprised how people are uninformed or only take informations from Gamestop/Best Buy/... , so they wont know, because they wont tell to the people who want a One that the console will get a price drop, they cant, it's their business.

It's me again... I just typed in gamestop.com, and the very first picture that greeted me was XBox for.$399 starting June 9.

I still think you are underestimating the intelect of casual buyers. 

Even if you take it for granted that a huge part of the population are blithering idiots that don't research jack squat, the PS4 still wins because of social inertia. XB1 has a much worse name in social media, and if someone has 10 gaming friends, the odds are ever higher that they will have a PS4 over an XB1 for the new gen, so players that want to MP with friends will continue that trend.
