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.

 

Just because they sold that many units on the launch day of a bundle, which happens to be the same day as the release of the biggest exclusive game for the PS3 to date (which was bundled with the console) doesn't mean that there is a sustained demand for the consoles at that rate.

 

Retailers said they could have sold three times as many 80GB bundles then they did. They even had a go at Sony for underestimating demand. It is clear that there was/is a higher demand for the 80GB PS3, than supply.
