Sony blew it with 40 gb sku (IMO). Sales predictions.

I said it once, i'll say it again(and if i didn't say it before, well now's the time to listen) Sony just loves to shoot themselves in the foot, the hand, hell if this sku charade continues, they'll shoot themselves in the head before we notice it. I have a really hard time imagining the consequences of Sony's actions.

 

From where i stand, it looks like this: The 40gb was not announced for the US, nor Japan (correct me if i'm wrong please), only for Europe. Thus this new sku introduction won't have any major influence on the first two regions. Unfortunately for Sony, there is a slight chance that sales will actually go down a bit as people will wait for the new SKU to reach their continents. In Europe...i don't know what'll happen. BC is important here. Period. Bundle packs might do the trick IF they'll seem reasonable and if more AA, AAA titles come out. HD is a long ways off so i doubt that people will start buying "cheap blue ray players a.k.a. PS3. 400 euros for a gaming device is a lot....ARRRGHHH I JUST DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!!!! (Puff..Puff, wheeze...ahhh my poor heart..)

What say ye, fellow gaming addicts? What're your thoughts on sales with this one?

 Pufff.....lets say 3k a month.
