If they keep the price the same, then we essentially will be getting a price cut due to inflation.

Which is the issue that I see holding any price cuts for any consoles back... Inflation, it's a world-wide issue at the moment.

In a way yeah, though unfortunatly it's not like most people really have more money to spend, so 300$ doesn't really feel like less now than a year ago. But it definitely does reduce the chance of an actual price-cut.

From a business sense, with so many unknown variables in regards to price/cost pressures... Governments the world over looking at ways to increase wages to match inflation, it just wouldn't make sense to do price cuts unless they were temporary, targeted and/or promotional, just because costs can increase.

Here for instance we initiated a bunch of wage increases in order for wages to start growing.. And that is likely just the start.
That will impact margins for any manufacturing, logistics and retail.
