| Darth Tigris said: I didn't feel like I was skewwing. I was just comparing the closest models (I actually messed up, the $500 PS3 had a 20g HD just like the Premium 360). Plus, since we're talking about the PS2 core here, it's a matter of record that the Premium 360 model sold more than the Core (aka, "gimped" version). I could never find anything to tell which PS3 model was the bigger seller, but those that bought the 20g had the same experience overall as those that bought the 60g. You can't say that about the Core 360. I still think it stands as a valid comparison. In addition, you can't ignore the other factors I mentioned. It wasn't JUST price. |
Yes, closest pricewise, which is skewing. And can you post links to these records that show that, at launch, the Premium sold more than the Core model? Also, the only real difference between the Core and the Premium 360 that actually affected the console was the 20GB HDD that came with the Core model. The other added bonuses were just accessories, i.e. headset, component cable, and remote. The 20GB PS3 was actually more gimped in comparison to the PS3 60GB, as it had a smaller HDD, no Wi-Fi, no card readers, and if memory serves me right, wasn't 100% BC with the PS2. In terms of sales, Sony discontinued the 20GB discontinued in America because they stated that demand for the PS3 was "upwards of 90 percent in favor of the 60GB."
