Probably holding off on the SKU shift until the 500 gig models are ready in large numbers. The new 40nm 120 gig models just barely started to hit stores a month or two ago. It would be pointless to end that production line so quickly. They'll probably launch the 500 gig models alongside GT5 at $350 and push the the 120 and 250 down to $250 and $300 respectively. Or potentially they could keep the 120 around for a while to counter the Kinect launch. Infact I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what they do. By that time they would probably barely be losing anything at $250 which would probably be more than offset by the $400 Move bundle. The actual difference in production cost between a 120 gig HDD and a 500 gig HDD for Sony is pretty minimal. And leading into the holidays that would probably be just the push they need to hit their 15 million projection.
