Ya know there is 3 versions of the Wii and 360 out there too? well at the very least I mean just externally, not including all of the mother board changes to the early models of 360s?

Original Wii > Wii family edition (no gamecube panel or support) and the Wii Mini

Xbox360 arcade/pro/elite > Xbox360 S (or the slim model as it's know > Xbox 360 E ( the version with a similar look to the X1)

I guess all us console fans should be embarrassed for whichever system we like huh?

If we're going to count every single difference as a new version, then there's 3 Wiis and dozens of PS3s and 360s. I was talking more the appearance of the console when it's sitting on the TV stand. Wii has 2, 360 has 3, and PS3 already has 3. Having 4 or 5 like the OP stated, would be too much.

Lol, you could have spared us the last one :P

It would benefit the PS3 with another revision because the super-slim was aesthetically unpleasing and probably turned off a lot of consumers. Not saying that PS3 sales will skyrocket if a new "slim" is released, but regardless, it will help somewhat. Not to mention, it'll help reduce manufacturing costs and give a wider profit margin.

So hrm ...

PS3 mini with 32GB storage for $179.99? Wouldn't be too bad I don't think. They could throw in a free game or something too.

The PS3 12 GB costs around 130 right now, so why would 32 GB for 180 make any sense?

So you meant outer plastic casing and nothing else? You really think Sony R&D spent that much on 3 designs of a black plastic shell?

an uber small ps3 that can connect to the ps4 to make it BC.

It also needs a price drop.

In Europe :)

I've just checked. The standard price of a 12 GB PS3 in Poland is exactly 143 Euro. Recently there was a sale during which it went for 135. And I'm talking about the price in Media Markt - the largest electronics chain in Europe. I know Euro is worth more than a Dolar, but it's the norm that $1 = 1 Euro in this business and 143 Euro is still less than $199 :P Also, our price includes taxes (23% VAT...).
