We will see what happens in a couple of weeks, but I suspect that the demand for the 80GB unit couldn't account for more than (about) 20,000 units which will diminish over time (as everyone who cares about Metal Gear Solid owns a PS3). Certainly, there will be a decent boost the next time they're available because of the build up of people waiting, but this boost will still not be that amazing.

 

You do know that the 70,000 80GB bundles sold out in one day don't you? The demand is way more than 20,000 units.

 


How do you know? All that those numbers say is that a whole lot of MGS fans were waiting for MGS4's release to purchase a PS3, and that the 80gb bundle happened to be the most convenient way to do so. It's obvious that demand still exists, but whether it exists for one thousand or a hundred thousand units remains to be seen.

Edit: Beaten like a red-headed stepchild by HappySquirrel.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
