No, the 60GB models outsell the 20GB. I myself have a 20GB model..
They lose more money on the 20GB model than the 60GB model...no conspiracy here, they are just trying to minimize losses.

Thats what I mean. The 20 GB model is selling more so by taking the choice away from the consumer, the consumer has to buy the 60 GB model. Minimizing their losses.
I know the Sony fanboys are going to chase me with torches and pitchforks. Then eat me alive but I just want to know, in their best educated guess, what Sony is doing by not continuing the $500 PS3. I am in no way a hater on Sony or a fanboy, I just want to know what everyone thinks.
There has been alot of speculation that Sony is no longer producing the Wi-Fi-less 20 Gb model of the PS3, especially with the Sony store "not getting anymore in stock". My theory (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) is that Sony is discontinuing it because it is selling better than the 60 Gb model. The reason I feel my theory is valid is that I have not seen a single 20 Gb model since they released the PS3. And I've seen plenty of 60 Gb models.
Plus if it is selling better that means Sony is losing more money because they though everyone would by the 60 Gb $600 PS3!
The reason it didn't do anything back then is because GTA came out like 6-8 months after the PS2 versions and the PS2 had a much larger install base. This time the 360 has the larger install base and GTA is coming out at the same time as the PS3 version plus Halo 3 is coming out. Microsoft sold alot of 360s when Gears of War came out, just wait until Halo 3!
I think the PS3 is an awesome system. I just wish I had the money for it. I try to own all the consoles so I don't miss any great games. However, this leaves me with little money for games.
