The PS3's price will drop to $299/299EUR this fall. Guaranteed. That's how the market works for consoles -- you drop the price each year, pump up the volume, then make money on the software. Sony's roadmap looks like this:
November 2006: $499 (high-end price)
November 2007: $399 (medium-end price)
November 2008: $299 (true mass market price)
By November 2009, the PS3 will drop to $199 -- just in time to be marketed to 1.5 billion cash-flush, media-hungry consumers in China, India, Russia and Brazil.
