I think this pretty much confirms that HD consoles need lower prices to sell. Big title after big title have come out with minimal impact on hardware sales.

Where have you been? It's pretty common knowledge that Sony didn't ship nearly enough 80 GB bundles

Some people are still stubbornly refusing to acknowledge there's a correlation between MGS4 and a bump in hardware sales.

The fact that most 80GB bundle sales were accounted for before they even reached store shelves, and the rest were gone by the end of June 12th seems to suggest otherwise. They only shipped about 70k bundles.

Some just wanted the 80GB model for the BC, but when you have 1.5m soft sales on opening weekend, saying that nobody bought the bundle because they also wanted the game is kidding themselves.
