it could be a trick to sell the 250gb bundle that bring more money to Sony

the 120gb are the sku where Sony is losing the more money (or winning the less)

Yeah, but theyre only losing like 18$ on the 120g so that shouldnt be an issue.
a bigger userbase warrants some minor ~20$ loss per console in my opinion
especially when they already make some profit in japan on the ps3 and are likely to break even with it in europe

well, if you lose 18$ on 120gb

BUT win ... 30$ on 250gb, it makes sense to me

but why dont they just discontinue the 120gig then?
its better losing 18$ on 120 gig i mean 1 game and they already covered that

Ok, I can see the Wii with Stock issues, they sold like 4 million in a month, but a 3rd place console that gets outsold all the times having stock issues make no sense to me.

people, are you all retarded or something!!!, this obvious that Sony is waiting for the release of god of war 3, final fantasy 13 to push out the stock, they are still loosing money on thh 120GB, so why not try and cut demand of the 120GB and sell the 250GB and make a profit until the major releases come out, that is obviously what Sony is doing,

@people suggesting to cut out the 120gb model :

it is also the entry price model ! the slim model that allowed Sony to come back in sales !
it would be crazy to rise up the price again ... just make no sense.

I can confirm that in my area (population 10 million) there are no ps3's.

If this theory was true... which it isn't... then sony would have made stock availble before today... which they didn't.

Sony copying Nintendo confirmed
