A lot of people on here post based on what they want to see or what they hope to see rather than what is most likely to actually happen.
Generally speaking it's the same people that are way too biased towards their favorite platform to maintain a reasonable amount of objectivity.
What matters in this instance, is the initial reception of both a big price reduction as well as a new model that so many are oo-ing and ah-ing over as is often the case with a redesigned exterior.
What is likely to happen is that we'll see a big explosion in sales over the next 3-4 weeks, which will taper off but remain at higher overall levels than previously at the very least, over both 2007 or 2008 sales for the same time frame at best.
The 2009 holiday season is likely to be the PS3's strongest holiday season yet due to the opening of the $299 market demographic. So look for sustained sales over the 2007 holiday season, following the introduction of the $399 40GB SKU when sales took a significant leap up.
Following into Q1 2010, I still see sales remaining at their highest levels to date for the Q1 quarter, sustained by all the delayed major Q1 soft releases.
