For the bottom part it will be positve for sony in the long term, come march when they will ikely cutt he price by $50 it will be at $349.99 and the 80gb will be at $449.99(with motorstorm dropping to $39.99). 65% of PS3 sales this week came from the 40gb ps3, only about 33k of the ps3;s were the 80gb.

I think they lose about $100.00 per console. But gain it back with software.

Edit: After I posted this, I re-read it and found it a little harsh. I don't apologize. I'm just tired of all of this 'pulling stuff out of thin air' jazz. This isn't a predictions thread. 

Well, technically, this entire site is pulling it's numbers out of thin air.  Sure, it's using some numbers as a base to fill in it's guesses, but it's still just picking an arbitrary number.
