Sony Officially Dropping 20GB PS3 in North America

An anonymous reader writes "Sony has just announced they're officially ditching the 20GB model of the PS3. '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. 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.'"

Sony is really in pain, isn't it?

4 months later and they axe one of their products?

Wow, that's a short amount of shelf time.

I'd have thought the P-is-for-poverty-S3 would have been their way in.

The 20gig thing wouldnt' have been an issue for people who want to play games, but the other missing features (wifi, etc) were a burn.

Am I mistaken, or did this thing either not come with DVI cable, or it didn't have a DVI port at all?

You have to see through all this "we listened to our customers" crap (Sony never does), and realize this is all because of the Wii's seemingly runaway success.

Any plans to release any good games to make up for the exclusives they've lost?
