Of course the new 80GB is going to increase sales. In fact, it's going to increase them quite a bit.

It will be the first 80GB model to be released in either Europe or Japan. So you can expect to see pretty big spikes in those regions. Europe in particular has been begging for a bigger hard drive since they've been stuck with nothing but the 40GB for almost an entire year now.

A person would have to be moronic to think that PS3 sales won't increase from the new SKU since almost nobody has been purchasing PS3's for the past couple weeks because they're all waiting to get the 80GB for the same price when it's released later this month. Not only that, supply of the 40GB models is being constrained because they're either ending production of them soon or possibly have already stopped producing them.
