Sony's goal of profitability for the PS3 is more than just making a profit on hardware. They need to sell software as well. And they need more PS3 consoles on the market in order to do that.
Sony may wait until they see the effect of the 360 price cut before making a decision. They have already outsold the 360 every week this year so far. It is still uncertain it the US price drop will allow the 360 to overtake the PS3 long term.
Expect a price drop with the Cell shrink to 45mn and the GPU shrink. Probably $50 in the August-October time frame.
