PS3 ‘super slim’ won’t be shown at GamesCom, $179 for 16GB model

Posted By | On 24th, Jul. 2012

According to sources of VG247, the PS3 super slim aka CECH 4000 won’t be shown at GamesCom as planned. The unit was revealed via FCC filings
and then a lot of images were leaked showing what type of console it would be – featuring 16GB flash memory and a top loading disc slot.

GamesCom starts on August 14 and Sony is expected to show some new stuff along with a price drop, but looks like that’s not on the cards for now. The reason given by their sources for a non-show is due to the stock levels being high. The current PS3 slim has a projected sales target of 12 million this fiscal year, and Sony has shipped a lot of them into the wild.

Stock clearance is something Microsoft did when shipping the Slim as well in 2010. The current PS3 is rumoured to be priced at $179 for the 16 GB model according to sources.
