I think Sony can afford to drop the price at anytime without losing profits to keep the lead.


Sony can afford to do that and microsoft can't? 

If I'm not mistaken, sony is the one who's heavily depending on the ps4 profits to boost the company.  Microsoft, on the other hand, does not depend on the xbox brand at all for their profits, so Microsoft is the one that's more likely to do a heavy price cut to move the consoles they need to.  


MS situation is good and linear about this, Sony's one is more complicated: as you correctly wrote, their company's heavily depending on its few profiting divisions, so Sony could decide a cut, not to react to MS, but if their predicted increase in HW sales, and so in SW ones, would be large enough to at least make up for and possibly exceed decreased profits on HW only.
