The journey of PS3 Slim

There were rumors in the beginning that Sony was soon launching the new PS3 Slim which was Slimmer and lighter than its predecessor, the PS3. There was further fuel added to the rumor when the Japanese game retailers were told by Sony that it would no longer supply them the PS3 console. Also the UK retailers were informed in early May that shipments of the current game console would stop. These events lead analysts to conclude that the current stocks of the PS3 were being cleared rapidly to make way for the newer version.

However when asked, Sony denied the replacement of its current console. Sony also denied that a price reduction would soon follow for their game console. Finally Sony announced that it would soon launch a Slimmer and a lighter version of the PS3 in the GamesCom conference in Cologne, Germany. As the event was getting close, the evidence of the Slim PS3 started to emerge. There were several retailers in the US and UK who began to report that the product code for the current 80 GB and 160 GB had been withdrawn and it was not possible now to order new stock of the current versions.

Also the online giant Amazon started outing up ads about the new Playstation 3 Konsole Slim thereby clearing all doubts in the people’s minds. The PS3 version soon became a reality which was on its way to be released. There was another US giant Kmart who also page devoted to the PS3 Slim.
