If you've been following Sony as a company recently, you'll observe that they're having financial problems. Reducing the manufacturing costs of the PS3 increases its profitability, therefore reducing their financial deficit.
Sony is currently looking to stabilize, not expand, and that's why you're not seeing a price drop along with the new Ps3.

Most of the cost savings in the new model are direct...
Who is it actually for?
Anybody who wants a Ps3.. It's all about reducing the costs of manufacturing, not about building something to compete with WiiU.
I don't think the SuperSlim model was ever intended to stimulate demand, but more as a means of cutting costs for Sony...
If you don't, then why does the article title state that you do know about the plans?
I think EA has known that Ray and Greg would leave the company ever since they bought them.
Think about it, Bioware was an immensely successful company. Their profits were stable, and pretty much guaranteed to continue. Yet they went up for sale - why?
It's what management calls an "Exit Strategy". Ray and Greg wanted out, but you can't just shut down the company or put someone in the lead that hasn't had sufficient training yet. Instead...
Pretty much yeah. Sony didn't create the new SuperSlim model for marketing purposes, they did it to cut costs and increase the Ps3's profitability. It's a common business practice - cut out all the features that nobody uses, or only a small percentage of people use, and you're left with a much cheaper product.
I'm looking forward to seeing more about this title, including when I can expect it to release. Happy to hear it's finally been officially announced, although it's not much of a surprise.
"The author doesn't just spout a bunch of crap either, it is a well thought out, well researched article."
So well researched in fact that he even misinterpreted what Chris Doran said in the first place. Chris never said we'd see Avatar running in real-time, so any argument attempting to disprove that is already moot.
Here's the actual quote, even posted in the article:
"I am confident that the lighting itself could get clo...
Looks great, really quite looking forward to this game. Will probably wait until the CE gets a price drop though.
How exactly is that sexist?
Looking forward to freeing up some time and playing through this game. I've not played the original half life, even though I've owned it for years. Playing it now is difficult due to poor graphics and a lack of nostalgia to make up for them.
Nukeitall and Irishguy, you're both wrong.
It's not RAM limitations that prevents cross game chat from happening. It's the fact that the PS3 is late into its cycle, and games that released use the full RAM on PS3 (e.g. they weren't built to accommodate the extra memory Cross Game Chat would take).
expect it to show up at TGS with a release date.
I don't know what you think I'm referring to but Old Snake does have the same hair colour as the character in the obscured image.
That looks like Old Snake.. Game may take place in multiple timelines.
So we're all "renting" World of Warcraft as well? And the games that we own on steam are also rented?
Besides, we're not paying for Borderlands as we already own PS+. It's just one of the benefits of having the subscription.
Nariko was very unexpected, considering they dropped development for a second heavenly sword. Still hoping that it comes out someday, Heavenly Sword 1 was great.
PS All stars is looking better everytime I see it, roster is looking quite good :)
I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see in the picture, but I see batman...
"PC means Windows"
No it doesn't... Many developers actually run Unix-based systems on their PCs, because they are much nicer to develop in.
I realize that, the point of my comment was that your title does not make it clear that the article is about your personal predictions. Instead, the article title implies that you already know what Sony's plans are.
Just listing it in the correct category isn't enough - you need to make sure the title conveys what the article is about concisely and accurately, whilst your current title is simply inaccurate and misleading.
