You can never assume anything in regards to what Sony will or will not do. Few things they do make sense until you realize they are being driven by desperation. The desperate are capable of doing anything at any time. Were there a logic that said Sony could save a billion dollars by only having one sku then Sony would probably choose this sku and discontinue all others.

Every company is desperate...... to make more money. Sony now offers consumers more choices, I don't see any difference from what Microsoft did. Sooner or later, Nintendo will launch another SKU. This is simply the nature of console war at this generation. Why not just accept the fact and embrace it! Buy sooner, you enjoy first; buy later, you get better deal! |
No, No, that's quite wrong. Not every company is desperate, Nintendo for example is anything but desperate at this point. Sony is the only one of the big three showing any real desperation, selling off assets, stripping down features in the PS3 and abandoning the ideals of super high graphic gaming for lower graphic longer gameplay titles. And spin it however you like but Sony didn't make multiple SKUs to give you choices, they did it to try and rectify the problem of their product not selling. |
But you do have more choices now, don't you? All the companies are the same, they want your money. It's called business!
Microsoft also released multiple SKU and now all the SKU have HDMI. That's not desperation? That's not rectifying the problem of their product? Be subjective, please!
How did you know the only purpose that Sony IPO their insurance business is to save PS3? What is your source? Yes, Sony made some stupid judgement in multiple arms of their core business before (first LCD TV, then MP3 player, now PS3), but they are trying to catch up. They are doing very well with their LCD TV, aren't they? Whether they will do it again on their Playstation business, we will see. I do see PSP doing pretty well lately.
Back to the topic, I don't see anything wrong with their multiple SKU strategy. Do you hear people complaining when they buy a computer or a car for too many choices. If you want something more, pay for it. Here I quote:
