Sony Officially Dropping 20GB PS3 in North America
$499 model being phased out completely.
By Patrick Klepek, 04/11/2007
Just as Microsoft's about to introduce a new Xbox 360 SKU, Sony's announced they're removing one from the marketplace. Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today they've officially dropped the PlayStation 3 20GB SKU and will no longer be offering the cheaper, Wi-Fi less model to North American retailers. Sony says a 10-to-1 retailer demand for the 60GB SKU has prompted the move.

Don't panic, though, as 20GB owners will continue to receive the same customer service support they were guaranteed upon purchasing the machine. The architecture between the 20GB and 60GB SKUs are the same, save for a few feature differences, so the shift is minimal from a customer relations and development perspective -- unlike Microsoft, who cannot drop support for the Core SKU, as that model doesn't come with a built-in hard drive.

"At launch, we offered two separate models of PLAYSTATION 3 to meet the diverse needs and interests of our PlayStation fan base. Initial retail demand in North America was upwards of ninety percent in favor of the 60GB sku, so we manufactured and shipped-in accordingly. Due to the overwhelming demand for the 60GB model from both retailers and consumers, we have ceased offering the 20GB model here in North America," said SCEA senior director of corporate communications Dave Karraker.

"In addition to the larger internal hard drive, the 60GB PlayStation 3 features added storage media slots and built-in Wi-Fi not found in the 20GB system. Based on retailer and consumer feedback, we have decided to focus our current efforts on the more popular 60GB model," he concluded.

And so it's official -- less than six months after the launch of the PS3, the 20GB SKU is officially dead.


如题
原因是60G和20G的零售商需求比例约为10：1
此时距ps3发售六个月不到

kao，就差几分钟而已。。。

索尼正式确认：北美20GB版PS3已经停产！

索尼电脑娱乐美国分部向GameDaily BIZ确认：今后北美将停止销售20GB版PS3。企业公关高级主管Dave Karraker表示：PS3首发时提供了两种型号，满足玩家不同的需求。北美初期对60GB版的需求占到了总数的90%，所以索尼根据需求调整了生产和出货计划。由于零售商和玩家对60GB版的强烈需求，索尼已经停止为北美提供20GB版PS3。

对于欧洲和日本，Karraker透露欧洲需求和美国类似，所以将来欧洲应该不会提供20GB版PS3。在日本，索尼将继续提供20GB和60GB版PS3。

这么快就消失了

现在好了，PS3要彻底走豪华餐厅路线了

不过停产也好，反正20G的PS3早就没人要了

难道是为了把60g卖20g的钱做准备

个人觉得sony这一次的ps3产品定位是失败了,失败的主要原因是两个版本之间的差异过小，只有$100的差距，令消费者产生60g版本才是标准，20g版是阉割的看法，这样的话消费者认为ps3 $599很贵就不足为奇，因为他们压根没考虑过20g版。正确的策略应该是把高端版的ps3配置和价格提高，配上120g硬盘，附送遥控器等做法使价格差距拉大到$200，主推20g版本并致力降低20g版的成本，同时提供一定的升级措施例如独立贩卖120g硬盘，这样的明确定位才能降低消费者对ps3过贵的印象。

估计SONY今年会降价的

不降价索尼很麻烦

原因很简单,20g亏得更多却不受消费者喜爱

20g本身就是为了让ps3的售价好看些,实际根本没出多少

PS3停产了！

wtf？

法拉力岂能不带真皮座套
豪华大餐也不能用大丰收当开胃菜

其实20G挺好的～～～差价有100刀呢～～～

怎么都觉得20G的存在目的都是为60G做促销的
另外还可以让PS3的价格概念更平易近人一点

主机降价期一般在一年半以后，PS3今年应该不会降价了
