the guy say nowhere that the 80gb will be phased out (correct me if I m wrong but the 80gb is still produced ?)

You're wrong. From the article:

According to a recent games.iafrica.com interview with Steve Foster, Sales & Marketing Manager of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, the 60GB and 80GB models will be phased out over time, and the one and only PS3 available worldwide will be the 40GB version.

From the interview:

GN: So the only model going forward, worldwide, is the 40GB?

SF: Correct. "Worldwide" is the important point here.
