Confirmed, 40GB PS3 to hit Japan as well!

[*~Onna76~*]

From what I've heard from a seller the 20GB is the "least" selling console in Japan :=/. If you take it from a worldwide perspective it doesn't make any sense. The US and Asian (outside Japan) territories are the only ones with a 80GB. Therefore... this smells fishy to me. I'll bet the 20GB / 60GB version will be discontinued in the end and another version will be introduced instead..."with" BC.

I don't think we've heard the last from it yet, like with Europe :=/.
