We don't know that yet. The president was addressing Japenese media at a Japanese trade show in Japan, so they probably wouldn't have given a damn had he said "oh, this also applies to North America and other territories".

Though it is possible that it'll only happen in Japan. Apparently Japanese consumers bitched even more than we did.

EDIT: "UPDATE: SCEA told 1UP that the price drop in Japan for the 20 GB version of the PlayStation 3 is exclusive to that territory and that the scheme for the U.S. pricing of the console would remain identical. $499 for the 20GB version of the console and $599 for the 60GB SKU. However, as previously reported, both versions now have HDMI."

Ok so I guess we're screwed. Why didn't you guys cry and whine as much as Japan? Damn.
