Source: Sony Mulling Over PS3 SKU Strategy

What's next for the PS3? What SKU will replace the 80GB model? Apparently Sony hasn't figured it out yet either, but execs are currently meeting in Japan to discuss strategy.

"There are a lot of different strategies under consideration, but nothing is final yet. They are considering ways to put some relevant distance between the two PS3 SKUs, but it's unclear how that will roll out," a source close to Sony told GameDaily BIZ.

At the end of the day it's good for the consumer, hopefully they'll put back the "backward compatibility" software as alot of current Playstation owners have a good PS2\PS1 library and would like to keep it. I'm lucky, got the PS3 60 Gig so have the compatibility and have upgraded it to 320 Gig, so shouldn't have space issues for awhile (hopefully :o) ).

WTF SONY! Why the hell isn't the Dual Shock 3 controler bundled with all sku's like yesterday!

PSWe605928d ago

As long as it has backwards compatibility and that the price doesn't shoot above $400, then it should sell well despite the size of the HDD.

ruibing5927d ago

I liked the whole 40GB and 80GB strategy, they just need to either provide a better bundle or drop the price a bit. They were really starting to turn things around, though maybe not as fast as they would have liked.

Snukadaman5927d ago

I think this is a "wait and see attitude" towards how well this 40 gig can sell on its own merits....since they only have the 40 gig in europe...maybe a couple of weeks...then they announce another sku...in all honesty this doesn't exactly induce any consumer confidence.

thedude176555927d ago

they also have to wait for the 80gb sku's to be sold off, or at least most of them before they decide to bring out a new sku will dual shock and a bigger hdd for possibly the same price.

haloblows5927d ago

and bundled it with GTA 4 at the price of $400. It will sell like hot cakes.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis9h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast8h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 4h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 6h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 5h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 2h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast8h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 1h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast8h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon20h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast8h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

gold_drake1h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast34m ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
