I'm still very surprised how sony doesn't seem to realize that these minor changes in their strategy are bound to fail, it seems as if they haven't fully understood that the enormous success of the PS2 was the product of many different factors (reasonable price, vast library of games, etc) and even in that case it still took them years to position themselves as the leader of the past generation. Adding 20 gigs to their system while keeping the same price point will do nothing for them in the long term, unless they make a more aggresive price cut ( lowering the price at least to the elite price point) these generation will be lost for sony. They can't expect to truly stretch the console generation to a true 10-year cycle, cause I'm sure that in no less than 4 or 5 years max will be seeing new consoles from both MS and nintendo that could render the PS3 obsolete well before they see a penny of profit.
