Look at it this way, they had this year's price cut last year, so maybe next year they'll have one.
I think they have most likely broke even now on the PS3, but I can only imagine that another price cut would lead to additional losses. It really comes down to whether Sony wants to lose further ground in the console wars to Nintendo and Microsoft. Sony can definitely make the money back up in game sales if the console is popular, but it could still take years to recoup losses. It really just depends on how bad Sony wants to stay in the console wars. So who knows what will happen?
