I don't know... More and more I look into this 40Gb PS3, the more I feel it will not be a good move.
Consumers are a strange crowds sometimes. Some things that they will look at will be:
1. Cheaper = great, but what's wrong with it. (Xbox 360 Core = perfect example)
2. I'm saving money but what am I sacrificing...
3. Reduced SKU = will I be able to play all the games. (Some consumers will think that because the SKU has cut off a number of extras, it will also mean it wont play everything as well - they wont bother to look into it).
4. So many SKU's it's confusing... which one is best value for money? (Not necessarily the cheapest).
Smart people will look into all these things or work out the answer for themselves but when it comes to the general consumer, which is the purchasing power in general, these people have absolutely no clue as to these things and the simplest of questions and answers will baffle them.
4 SKU's in one year is not a great idea. Xbox 360 has 3 and PS3 will have 4 and both systems are selling rather poorly. Nintendo brought out just 1 and there is no confusion for these simpleton consumers. Yes price has a major impact but so does simple choices.
It's me... no really, it IS me!!!
