He never actually said the 80gb would be phased out. He mentioned the main model will be the 40gb "worldwide", but it could've been phrased like that because it is the only model in all territories. The EU only has the 40gb.

What if my ps3 breaks in a few years? Will I not be able to play ps2 games ever again?

I have already posted the part of the interview where he says that above.

If your PS3 fails, and this turns out to be true, they'll probably have a few PS3s with BC in stock for cases like that.
