"Supply expected to be tight" for 40GB PS3

[johnsobas]

let me guess, they will have the 40 gig in america this year, then when it doesn't sell well (even if they all sell out, sales will be far behind 80 gig) they will claim that people just wanted the 80 gig then they will lower the price on the 80 gig to 400 in fall 08 and have some $300 model for the 2008 holiday season that is gimped and supply constrained.

They just put out these models that they know will not sell well so that it looks like they have a low price when very few people actually will even want to buy them. They take much bigger losses on the 40 gig (same with the 20 gig) but they will probably only supply 1 40 gig for every 10 80 gigs.
