when you consider how much they're losing per unit already, dropping USB ports, a card reader and Wifi and software ps1/ps2 emulation isn't going to get them in the black per unit. They're still going to be losing a ton of money so dropping the price to $399 makes even less sense.

The comment you posted from Hirai is probably the most intelligent comment from anyone in the PS3 division to date. He knows that dropping the price of a console that doesn't have much content isn't going to make much difference. It's not going to spur sales, so why lose more money on what you are selling?

It still wouldn't surprise me to see a price drop though. They're desperate right now. It's been nothing but negative press since they launched it. Though that's what you get when you enter a market and ignore the changes it has seen since last time.
