I think it's a Sony production problem, GS is the biggest gamestore in the US and the PS3 is actually selling less then other consoles weekly and it's still in shortage.

I think this cancels itself out, as the shortages are probably the culprit for the lower sales.

To the topic, it could be that they have a newer model ready to splash. Not necessarily as big of a difference from the fats to the slim, but a smaller, lighter version of the current slim.

hopefully a SKU that has BC built back in as I refuse to purchase a brand new console otherwise.

Correct me if i am wrong, but did Sony not sell its production facility to Toshiba for $1 Billion not too long ago? Maybe Microsoft gave Toshiba "an incentive" to hamper production...industrial sabotage :D

Just a thought.
