None.
I can't believe you made a topic about this. The first thing that comes to my mind is, in a downed economy, why would people throw down $300 for a console they already have.

This subject is a joke.

I already know someone that has, so you're already wrong. WHy are you getting so defensive about it .. chill out.

I meant 'none' as in, not enough people for it actually to count as a percent.

I don't think it really matters, just like 360 owners rebuying there console due to Rrod. A sale is a sale.

My guess is a similar % of people who owned PS2 phat and went and got themselves a PS2 slim.

This is hard to determine, we could only guess

@ OP

I think the percentage is higher but I cannot say how high (I really don't know)

I'll say it again, there isn't proof for EITHER one, it's impossible to find out how many people got a second PS3, unless you survey all 850,000+ people.

I'm just saying there is none because you are so confident there is, and be reasonable, how many people would honestly go buy a second PS3? To do what.. Stare at it? Of course there ARE some people that buy second PS3's, but again, but most likely not as much as ioi is saying.. How many people do you know, that have 2 or more PS3's? Go around, ask your friends, ask VGC, then come back to me, hell.. Make a poll on some site if you want.

Cool, use more of my catchphrases.

Well out of everyone I know on my PSN friends list and friends in real life I only know 1 person who bought a Slim PS3 while they still had a working PS3 and he kept the Phat version for a blu ray player in his sitting room. Other than that a few friends have picked up a slim on release who never had a PS3 before
