Sony drops price to $300. MS may or may not drop the price on the $200 Arcade. However the Pro and elite could get a $50 price cut. Sony drops PS3 to $350 early 2009, MS will probably sit back and watch and see how things unfold. The main sales are in the last quarter of the year so MS will likely cut its price in September next year. So many possibilities can happen in 2009 in regards to Sony and MS pricing. Nintendo will 99.9% certainty leave the wii unchange in price at $249 price tag.

Yeah, I agree that the Wii price drop won't come, and really, shouldn't come. It sells like hotcakes without price drops.
As for MS, their price cut would come nearly at the same time as Sonys, because that's MS' style. They won't risk losing the momentum that the 360 has gained recently.
And like I've said before, MS has one thing that Sony doesn't. XBOX Live subscription fees flowing in to make up for a profitless/money losing console sales. Aside from the fact that MS has nearly 5 dozen billion dollars in cash, they also can afford to take a loss on the console and make up for it in subscription fees and as has been stated before, more money on software sales due to the high attachment rate.
