Yes they can. As of March last year it was. revealed that sony were making a profit on selling the PS4. That means they could have been making each one for as little as $380. With GDDR5 and processor prices coming down the PS4 can have a BOM of under $350 by now. And with whatever revisions they make it could be down to $300 by august. Its going to be easy to drop the price of the PS4 to $299 if they want to.
What I see hapoenning is a price drop to $299 around E3 or GDC in august and then $299 bundles with uncharted 4 in November and December.
Funny thing is, if they wait till august to drop the price, it would be the longest time a PlayStation console has been on the market without a price drop.
