We'll know giving a few weeks into it. There will be a rush due to low stock in recent weeks then it'll level out again.

It's apparently in a pretty new white box in Europe instead of the black one. Consumers might think it's different.



Hmm, pie.

I wasn't aware of this.  Being that it's in a white box people might think that it's a Wii and it might sell much better.  Honestly that is a good marketing strategy all sarcasm aside.

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

Well according to this it will release this friday.

you should have more than just simple "no", put little effort in your thread or it will look like a flamebait.

 

I don't really think it needs much more...  What the heck, why not?

Sony wants to sell more PS3s? Price cut.

Not saying it's possible, just that that is the answer.

That is all.  Thank you.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

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.

 

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

 

now not yet, however 45nm should be comming, the 45nm GPU/CPU will most likely come when the PS3 gets a whole physical redisgn. Currently though the push is for 65nm for the GPU and I personally think the new 80GB will have it.

There will definitely be a sudden jump on launch from the people that were waiting for the higher value offering....

However, long term increase? I think only a slight one...

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).

So the 65nm GPU will lower production costs, but the bigger HDD and the DS3 will increase them.

maybe its cheaper



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.
