This is dumb by sony. Only hardcore gamers would spend $500 or $600 on a game console. Of course if you are going to spend that much you'll buy the $600 unit. The problem is the PS3 doesn't sell because of price. They have now taken one step further from a mainstream unit. The PS3 doesn't stand a chance of catching on until its $300, 20 gig or 60 gig.

your joking right... the 20GB did sell at all.. the 60GB sold 100% better. Honestly I hope they lower the 60GB price to $500 soon and release the 80GB version for $550

 

@ Shams - Sony lost about $250 a console on both version before they cut manufacturing costs. Now who knows how much the lose.

 His point was only the hardcore is going to spend over $400 on a console. Those people are the sorts who would pick the 60gb over the 20gb -  because the cost is irrelevant to them.

 I think if the 20 was $400 and the 60 $500 then we would have a very different story.
