Pachter: 40GB PS3, price cut for 80GB model before the holidays
Despite Sony‘s statement that a 40GB PlayStation 3 SKU is nothing but speculation, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has said that he still expects the company to release a 40GB PS3 by the holidays. This according to reports from Gamasutra.
According to the analyst, he expects “the heavily speculated 40Gb PS3 to appear at a US$ 399 price as early as the holidays (and in any event early next year).”
The analyst also believes that the 80GB PS3 is in for a price cut before the holidays. “We expect the price of the 80Gb PS3 to be reduced to $499 before the holidays,” he said, “maintaining a premium SKU at that price point.” Pachter also reiterated his predictions for LittleBigPlanet, saying that the game “will be a console seller in Japan.”
