Um, didn't you see the last price cut?
Nintendo and MS before Sony's cut had no real plans for a price cut (especially that soon). But due to the fact that Sony was already out-selling them by a huge margin at the $300 price tag, any kind of Sony price cut would have been followed by a Nintendo and MS one.
Unless MS and Nintendo pull themselves out of the war, they will drop prices. I don't think it would exactly be safe for Nintendo to let Sony have it's more valueable system priced less. Plus neither system in the plublic eye has even compettive games.
Of course, down the line, Cubes and Xboxs may sell good anyway, but by the time they come remotely close to even N64's sales Ps3 may be making it's dominating debut.
