So they've already made a slight redesign? And best yet it will mean even more money for Sony?

I would think that Sony would pass along the savings to its customers, as they claim to be very interested in what's best for the customer(EA Access).

It will probably lead to a price drop in march or april  though...

Depends on how big the saving is. It isn't really worth a price cut if it is only a small amount.

Besides, you could say that them decreasing the power consumption is passing some savings to their customers as well...

Remeber the PS4's that were in those clear display boxes that kept overheating?  Obviously displayed in closed boxes.

Maybe they recognized some long term problem and have fixed it now.

I agree though, the savings are probably small.  I was thinking that they would drop the price early next year and they are just getting all of the cheaper components into the systems.  Sony has to be happy that they have sold so many PS4's, as this will alow for cheaper costs from their suppliers anyway.  Becasue they are clearly dominating the market, they don't even have to drop the price.  I think they will, only because M$ will on the xb1 by april for sure.
