What month do you think Sony will cut the price of their console.  PS1 and 2 got $100 price cuts about 2 years after release (little earlier) if I remember correctly.  I'm thinking Sony will want to be as profitable as possible and also want to take advantage of as many bumps from price cuts as possible.  For these reasons I think they'll cut price by just $50.  They will also do it early enough to get one sales bump from price cut and then get their holiday boost.  For this reason I'm thinking September (announced at Gamescom).

Whenever the new model comes out...



I'm still guessing for Spring, but after E3 seems much more likely.



I say end of October by $50

As soon as people stop buying that thing at $400.

September, by 100$.



Tommorow, $398 price drop



Who knows really. The PS4 is killing it. They might just maintain launch price for a while and maintain a sexy profit margin.



I put holiday: $100



I'm going 100$ by fall. I think they planned to cut it by 50 last fall and another 50 by this fall but sales were so far ahead of expectations that they never bothered. Maybe they will do it by 50$ but I think to combat halo 5 they will cut it by 100$ in the US.
