Sony Corp said on Thursday it would stop shipments of PlayStation 3 models with 20- and 60-gigabyte (GB) hard disk drives in Japan this month, focusing instead on the 40-GB model.
Sony said that this does not mean the 40-GB machine will be the only model available in Japan and that it will launch new models to respond to end-user preferences sometime in the future.
The 40-GB model, launched in November in Japan, sells for 39,980 yen ($364.5), less than the 20-GB machine’s 44,980 yen.
