New news on PS3 shipments

Previously I wrote concerning the number of PS3's to be present at launch. Well now Sony has stepped forwards with the rest of the information the consumer needs. Namely, how many 60gig versions and how many 20gig short bus versions there will be.

According to Sony 80 percent of the shipped systems will be the 60gig version leaving only 20 percent for the cheap-o versions.

This is actually a smart move on Sony's part, perhaps one of the smartest they've made in a long time. While I still don't believe the system will sell well, they are atleast realizing that if people are willing to buy the system despite the huge investment they are willing to get the trumped up version.

If I decide to be poor because of a game system I might as well spend the extra money and get a good game system, not some hacked down shell of a good system.

Well done Sony, I'll give you a thumbs up for this one. Now to see whether or not they actually get the systems shipped :p
