Man, the PS3 is still selling pretty strong on amazon. It's the second best selling system on amazon behind the Wii. What's more amazing is that both silver and black PS2 modelsare the third and fourth best selling systems. This is to prove that Sony is still running very strong in console sales. I believe that most of the people who bought a PS2 will eventually end up buying a PS3 because of the awesome backward compatibility the system has. Even the 80GB model that's coming out soon will be able to play the vast majority of games via software emulations. that's a big reason for any PS2 owner to upgrade to a PS3, not to mention the awesome games coming out for the PS3. This all seems like a promising future for Sony in the next console generation. All that comes from the awesome job Sony did at E3 I think + the price drop. I am very happy with how things are turning out!

I hate to break it to you, but as a UK gamer with the PS2 emulation in the PS3, it's quite rubbish on lots of games and good on others. Jo Bloggs won't understand this and many that buy a PS3 will take it back when their old PS2 games don't work.
The price drop is just a stock clearance so they can get on with the new model. The new version is cheaper to make without the emotion engine, but they add in extra capacity to balance. In every industry you have a sales spike when you have a sale to clear stock.
It will be interesting to see what the sales are like when the 80Gb version is the only one available.

Lol, no one is going to take a PS3 back b/c of the rare ps2 game that doesn't play on it!

The PS3 is like a fine system. People will see it for all it's got sooner or later.
