I make no predictions, but you guys should probably clarify...are you talking about a possible price drop in 2007 in the UK or the U.S.? What happens if it drops in one place and not the other, like when Sony dropped the price of the 20GB PS3 in Japan for launch?
Personally, by looking strictly at the sales numbers for the PS2 and PSP - especially in the UK - and the MUCH better launch lineup scheduled for the UK PS3 launch, I have difficulty thinking Sony has lost much in the way of momentum. They never really had any going into the launch, anyway, not with the 360 already out; Sony begins this generation playing catch-up in the first place.
But I also believe the PS3 will sell just fine this year, in all regions. You might find them on the shelves now, but A. it's January. NOBODY has much money after the holidays, and B. good games spur hardware sales. It's that simple. If the PS3 has the games, AND, perhaps just as importantly, the best multiplat versions of games (this will be very helpful if it happens, due to the number of games choosing to go multi this generation), than it will sell. If it sells, Sony will NOT drop that price. With the amount of money they dumped into the thing, and the fact they're STILL losing $200 on each system sold, it would have to take some pretty drastic under-selling for Sony to drop the price this year. That's my two cents.
