I'd be surprised if the PS4 price dropped. Apparently RAM prices are going up.

RAM prices are going down big time for the PS4 GDDR5 but they are actually going to go up for the X1's GDDR3. 

OT: PS4 is absolutely cruising. 

Can you explain why? I'm really not very knowledgable when it comes to that stuff.

This is the improvement that will make PS4 RAM a lot cheaper among other improvements.

can't find a link for the reason xbox's ddr3 is going to get more expensive but the reason was due to the expected decline in demand for it as the industry is moving on from it. less demand equals higher costs to make and less money
