No raising the price and adding another sku would be bad. All they need for BC is to get it to work using software emulation, thats it. Then drop the price when they can afford it, probably by fall. Then the sales will rise, especially if you can get GT5, Uncharted 2, R&CF 2 and FFXIII(in japan) out by the end of the year. I would expect the PS3 to greatly improve on last years numbers.

You realize that even with the GS chip, the original 80 Gb's software BC is iffy at best as it fails and glitches on many titles.  Asking them to rewrite the BC to not only work flawlessly but also without the GS chip is asking more than you realize especially considering that with most software emulation you essentially need a machine roughly 10 times more powerful than the original to get it work.

Odds of seeing BC on models without EE/GS chips are slim to none.
