I don't expect a price drop any time this year. At the most, we may see a $349.99 500GB and a $399.99 1TB model. In that case October would be the latest. However, I don't think Sony and MS have any plans to play a price war game this gen. I think instead they are going to continue to add value to the consoles, and make minor improvements in future hardware revisions.
As far as I have gathered, Project Morpheus requires 1 HDMI port and 1 USB 3.0 port. I think an extra HDMI in the front of the next PS4, and at least 1 more USB 3.0 port would do wonder to help sell morpheus. Along with that, I think both consoles could see an upgrade in RAM. 12GB in future models would help multitasking, and open up a lot of other oppertunities. Most notably, they could give devs extra RAM for games, and limit the multi-tasking on early models of the units to what we have currently (thus, not fracturing the userbase). Other things like the newest Wifi, Blue Tooth, and NFC, will be very important to keeping the consoles relevent over the next 5 years.
With the additions of the ever expanding Vue and Sling TV services, Windows 10 software on XBO, and many other apps, that assure these boxes stay competitive with Apple TV and Android set top boxes. All of the sudden $399.99 is a pretty good price for something that can replace you Blu-ray, your Wii/PS3/360, your Cable box, and even your PC for many.
Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.
