This is just a way to scare people into buying the 60 GB units while they're available... And then they'll do a Sony-Style-backtrack™ and announce a 80/100/120 GB unit.
In any case, I don't expect the 40 GB to sell any significant numbers for now. The sales spike this week will come mostly from 60 GB units which got a price cut. I mean, the current choice in Europe is:
- 40 GB PS3, not compatible with PS2 games, no card readers and 2 USB ports for 400 €.
- 60 GB PS3, with card readers, 4 USB ports, compatible with PS2 games (not the best BC, but still good), with an extra controller and two fine games (Motorstorm and Resistance) for 500 €
It's pretty obvious that most people will go with the 60 GB! When the bundles with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 launch, apparently they'll only be available with the 40 GB unit, so that's when the 40 GB unit starts to sell IMO!
