I dont think they will ever cut to 350. If they do, MS will cut the XB1 to 299. 299 is a substantial barrier. The XB1 would have a better advantage at 299 vrs 349, than it does at 349 vrs 399.
I think Sony goes straight to 299, if MS goes to 249, so be it. Those numbers dont look to different to a consumer. Both are under the 300 barrier and in the traditional mass market range. I think this is why Sony has waited this long because they dont want this and it is still too expensive to go to 299. 349 would be a defensive move for Sony, 299 would be to make an impact.

Exactly. If sony drop the price for ps4 this year (and they will), it will be 100 dollars/euros less, not only a cheap 50 move.
They always dropped the price on their console before the end of the second year, i don't see how it will be different now, especially when the cost of the ps4 decline (contrary to the Xone, because of the DDR3).

I agree with the 100$ cut in the USA. A cut that big sends shockwaves through the media and everyone would be talking about it because it's domination console getting a price cut at last.
But why do they need to cut the EU price bar the UK? They're going to walk through the EU with an easy win so might aswell hold out and just do a 50€ cut there. Japan likewise and same for most of the ROW.
A 100 WW price is overkill and a waste of profits.
