Analyst speculates that 60GB stockpiles mean Sony cannot yet release cut-down model in US
Despite the ongoing retail speculation that Sony is preparing to launch the reduced-spec 40GB PS3 in North America, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has stated that a surplus of 60GB units in the territory is forcing the company to put its plans on hold.
“These rolling announcements suggest to me that Sony has an inventory control problem, with too many unsold 60GB units out there, and they don't want to have to cut the price to clear them,” Wedbush Morgan securities analyst Michael Pachter told GamesIndustry.
Speculating that a 40GB announcement would have to wait until sufficient numbers of the 60GB models have been sold, he added that Sony might have to “accept reality and bundle the 60GB with a game and an extra controller for $499.99, giving consumers some value for their money.”

Analysts???
Ha!! Some experts!! Why would SCEA let that stand in their way? Look at the UK! the mention of a 40GB model and everyone goes crazy for the 60GB model!! So if there is a stock pile of PS3's then going for a 40GB model seems a good move!!
Doh!
Re: Analysts???
I can provide this much: My pal went and picked upa 60G when he heard Sony was fading out the 60G PS3. So really, anything they do has gotten flame wars and critique, but really its all good. I'm getting the 40G PS3 when/if its available in the US because personally, I think $200 is worth the loss of BC and 20GB.
