$299 PS4 price cut announced at Gamescom '15 . I'm calling it now. Gamescom is where they introduced the PS3 slim in Aug 09. Slim will be the following year with a cut to $249.

 
Only possible, if mobile chips already went to 14/16nm finfet, while Nvidia and AMD graphic cards won't go to 20nm
Right now there is no capacity for 20nm console socs and the process is still to expensive.

I don't see shinks to 20nm before 2016. And a new slim model doens't make sense without a die shrink.

Consoles came out end of 2013. 2 years after the first 28nm graphic cards from AMD (Nvidia was later)
So no, we won't see a slim version this early



You say you don't see shrinks before 2016, i'm saying a slim PS4 late 2016. 3 years after the PS4 launch.
