Maybe but I think it should spike sales for awhile.



blackstar on 18 August 2008

i say yes , it will for one week or two

In others I expect PS3 sales to go up to 120k the week the 80 GB is released, and then settle somewhere around 100k. They have been waiting to get a HDD bigger than 40 GB and a DS3 for a while. In US the 80 GB will be the reintroduction of a $399 SKU, so sales should get a decent boost and settle somewhere around 75k, provided that they keep the $499 PS3 (quite a few people are willing to pay $100 extra for BC).

yeah it will likely increase

but til the ps3 gets to the sweet 299$ price point it won't go near wii/ds levels.

 


The PS3 won't ever get to Wii/DS levels...

OT: Eh...maybe. The 80 GB is just the 40 GB...with an extra 40 GBs. I don't know really but there might be some people who think they're bringing back the inital 80 GB back (ie. the one with BC). I'm not sure.

When will it be released? Or don't we have a solid date?

 

Europe: 27th of August

Think it will increase most in europe.

yes it will increase, I my self will contribute 1 point.

Simple fact is, I was waiting for the DS3 to be packaged in, and then it was announced it came with a HDD upgrade as well, so that was pretty sweet.

Now the whole package would be complete if this 80GB PS3 came with both CPU and GPU at 65nm.

I hope it will, but I don't think so.

Nobody cares of the size of the hard drive, what the PS3 needs now is a price cut.

Wasn't it supposed to have a CPU at 45nm?

I think that it will slightly. Most average consumers won't know the difference.
