Slim + Pricecut is the cause of the PS3 recent sales boom.
I will put the pricecut as the major factor but by no means disregared the slim model as not being a big part of it.
Why? Because Sony sold the slim as a "new" system.
With only a pricecut on the "fat" PS3 that would have been impossible.
I therefore cannot agree with you that people should stop refering to the slim as the reason for this "success".
I do agree with you that there are many people that talk with extreme certainty about an unknown future.
Studies seems to point to it being a gamers thing. If your predictions are proven wrong you make more wild predictions start all over again, like being killed in a video game.
