There was one trend that gamers used to look forward to on PS consoles and that was aggressive price cuts due to competition.
The original Playstation had a price cut of -$100 only 8 months in, reducing it's launch price by a third from $299 to $199.
The PS2 also had a price cut of -$100 1 year 7 months in, reducing it's launch price by a third from $299 to $199.

It's hard to say if Sony will continue this trend of price cuts of 1/3 before the end of the 2nd year now that it faces no real competition..
