^^no, it's definately the price point. Look what happend in November when they got the price down to $400. People don't care about all the previous SKUs. They go to a store and see one or two different PS3 models, they ask the sales person or the nearest teenager what the differences between the two are, and they decide which one to buy. They don't care if Sony had 350 previous SKUs out there, they see two in a store and the make a decision based on those two, not the previous 350 discontinued SKUs.

This is true, mostly. How many PS2 SKUs were there? Probably close to, if not more than, 20. They kept revising the motherboard on the original model, probably close to 10 times, then the slimline PS2 came out, and that went through some revisions, too. It didn't matter that they kept changing it. What mattered was the price was falling.
