A price drop for Nintendo would make sense if they felt that they had exhausted their potential userbase at their current price or if price differentiation became a factor for potential buyers. A well advertised capable Wii Fit clone combined with a $150 XBox Arcade for example spending more than a month in the top 10 could trigger it for instance. Honestly though, I don't think we'll see that sort of killer combo from Microsoft this year or next. Sony won't manage to get their price down far enough to do anything like that either.
End of next year when they've hit 35 million consoles sold they may do it just to start picking up outliers that are waiting for a drop and those that are undecided.
This year I think we'll see the Black Wii, the inclusion of WSR/WM+, and maybe an increase in the internal flash storage.
