The launch of Sony's PlayStation 3 latest SKU, the 40GB, was seen by many as a backward step followed by their announcement of a price drop; reason being ironically that backward step had completely no backward compatibility for PS2 games. In what will now puzzle the industry more, Sony confirm that this model will be the only one left worldwide with the 60GB and 80GB being discontinued.
