In a concession which failed to stun the world, Sony spokesperson Satoshi Fukuoka said Sony is considering offering the 80 GB version of its PlayStation 3 console to markets outside of South Korea, including the United States. “Increasing capacities for models is one of the options,” Fukuoka told reporters in Tokyo, in admitting Sony was considering offering the console in the U.S. and other markets. “We make such decisions depending on the needs of the market, and every country is different.”
Last month, FCC filings indicated Sony was planning a version of its PlayStation 3 game console with an 80 GB hard drive—although the company went to some lengths at the time to deny rumors of any impending changes in its PlayStation line. Scarecely two weeks later, Sony announced it was discontinuing the 20 GB version of the console in North America (and they never ever bothered to ship it to Europe). Now, Sony isn’t confirming that it plans an enhanced version of the PlayStation 3 with increased storage capacity, but notes that aside from swapping out core components—the Blu-ray drive, the Cell processors, RSX, and networking—"addition and deletion is quite possible."
