Hmm I may have to recant my previous prediction. Sony historically cut the PS2's price in the US every May. Despite not needing to. Given their current focus on certain revenue streams (PS+, PS Now, PS Vue, etc) they probably care more about market share than HW profit. So, maybe it'll happen in May 2015 too, after The Order and Bloodborne are out. Or for timing sake's they might delay that until E3 day and announce the cut for the day after E3.
They might even go for 300 dollars if they do that.
I am not surprised they did not drop it in the holidays. There is enough info out there to conclude that if they had done that, they'd have been unable to meet demand due to having to ship so much outside of the US. There is no point in lowering price point to increase sales if you are unable to actually make those sales due to stock shortage. Doing it in mid-2015 guarantees a better stock situation, so everyone who runs out to buy a cheaper PS4 should be able to find one. Then it's a matter of managing manufactoring so that they are still properly stocked in the holidays.
