We know Sony's CEO said they are pursuing marketshare and total HW sold more than profit at this moment... so a pricecut is certain and it will come whenever they are sure that let's say 350 pricepoint won't make the console have stock shortages... no use in having more demand if you can't meet it, that is the main reason I think Sony didn't tried any pricedrop or even SW bundle for free, because they are basically selling in the expectancy for having all stock fly until the end of the year.

There no reason to do a price cut when you dominate your competitor ,if they do a price cut now what they would do if sale slow down a lot

The whole "dominating the competition" thing is just website fanwar banter. Thats not really what matters to them. What matters to them is market share and market growth. It just so happens to be that if your competitor is selling much better than you then it means there are potentially fewer people to buy your own console. 

For sony, if a price drop can increase sales from 500k/month to say 650k/month, and they can meet that demand, then they would do it. Cause for them its better having as many people possible owning their console as quickly as possible than just outselling the competition. Thats where the real money is at.
