Since the announcement of the phasing out of the 60gb playstation and the questions regarding the future pricing of the 80gb, do you guys think Sony's playstation 3 will lose its momentum?

Since the price drop the Playstation 3 has shot to the 1st place rank on video games of amazon.com, and kept it since.

I personally think the playstation 3 80 gb model WILL drop to $499 (without motorstorm) because its going to be (when august rolls around) 599 with motorstorm AND its not even the holidays yet.

also factor in the new games rolling out during Q3 Q4 into this momentum beez kneez

Maybe we should see how much momentum it really gains first. It looks like a lot of great games are coming out and there are plenty of people just waiting for the right time to invest in the ps3, and now a lot of people are going to be convinced with the next round of games coming along. And with the power of the ps3 starting to be realized, the next round of games will only get bigger and better. Looks to me like it'll grow and grow until it's bigger than the 360 in a year.

i expect an announcement about what is going on at Xo7 or at TGS- i dont expect it to lose momentum- 99% of the PS3s market probabaly doesnt even know the 60GB is being phased out- and the other percent probabaly dont care.

Who knows what the momentum will be but one thing is for sure. If the 60GB version is phased out too soon, it could hurt Sony sales unless they time it with all the AAA titles that many are waiting for before they buy.

It could be their stratergy.

i agree with what someone said above.

99% of casual gamers won't even know about the 60gb phase out. all they know is what they see in thier local wal mart or best buy weekly flyer. and that is $499 PS3!! so this will have noaffect on momentum at all.

I honestly don't. I think phasing out the 60 gig is a way to increase sales. I also think to further improve them they will offer an 80 gig without out the bundled extras for 499 from then on.

I think it's going to steadily gain momentum from here on in. The E3 showing didn't have much brand new stuff, but it was still great.

once the 60GB SKU is sold out, sony will let the cat out of the bag and announce the 80gb no pack-in for same price $499. you just have to put 2 and 2 together, you dumb dumbs are freaking out over nothing. buy the damn console and enjoy the games.
