I really don't expecta pricedrop any time soon.
1) PS2 HW sales are dying. (Less profit)
2) PS2 SW sales are dying along the HW. (Less profit)
3) More PS3's are being sold. (More loss)
4) More PS3 games are being sold. (Could bring in some profit, but seeing that the best sellers are bundled, I really doubt this has a significant impact).
5) PSP HW sales remain stable YoY, but its SW sales are not improving. Very worrying sign.
The overall conclusion from the above is that unless they achieve to reduce the production costs of the PS3, the loss this year will be greater.
I wouldn't expect to see a price drop until 2010. It could happen before, if Sony is willing to lose more money, or if MS drops the price.
