"two, the PS3 Slim looks like its real, or people wouldnt have issued cease and desist orders for it, that will further drop production costs, but it will retain the same price point if the PS2 slim is a guide, meaning profit on every unit sold.
To consumers, there is no value to it. They will know it's a PS3 that is slim (that's it's name), but they wont care. Smaller does not equal better in the consumer's mind. Nintendo was able to create a mass market because they know what consumers wanted. The games on the PS3 appeal to the core users. There is a very limited number of them. The slim wont save the system."
You make this statement yet back it up with nothing but your opinion. Fine, my opinion on the matter is that consumers will care. The console will be less expensive and will be smaller, what's not to like?
As for 3rd party suppourt leaving en masse, I don't see that happening and the reason is that the Wii doesn't sell enough 3rd party software. Look at COD:WAW, despite having more than double the PS3 user base the PS3 still sold 3x the amount that the Wii did. Now why on earth would developers abandon a console that sells games for them for a console with a larger install base that sells less?
