hardware redesigns can be game changers. Look at the psp and the ds. Before the lite came out the psp was killing the ds (at least in america, not sure about ww). However, after lite came out the psp was never able to recapture it's momentum, even after it's own redesigns.

It really boils down to what the slim is going to change about the ps3. Is it going to be an improvement? or is it going to take features away? Sony's past hardware redesigns seem to be mostly about saving money on manufacturing cost, not so much driving sales. I'm thinking the ps3 slim is going to be the same IMO.

PSP managed to own japan (highest selling game) and if remenber correctly highest selling 2008 in japn last year because of the psp 2000-3000 and monster hunter.

i can see ps3 doing the same for europe with GT5 and japan with FF13
