OK, this prediction has officially failed. I have to say I am surprised... All the rumours came true, but the size is the same!
Why on earth would they remove 2 USB ports from the console if not to reduce the size of the motherboard (together with the PS2 chip and memory card readers removal), and consequently the size of the console? How much are they saving with this measure, $1-$3 per console?
Or maybe it's just a way to differentiate the models in the minds of consumers? If that's the case well... I still think it's lousy. As far as I can see, the models are more than differentiated by disk size, memory card readers and BC issues already.
Can someone think of a good reason for this? Are they financially desperate enough to make the meager monetary saving the reason for this?
