@ 2009/09/01Sony unveiled the new PS3 Slim officially last week at Gamescom in Germany. The new console was officially announced after months of speculation swirling about not only the slimmer PS3, but a price cut as well. Thankfully, both the price cut and new PS3 console became reality.
Times Online sat down with Sony Computer Entertainment's Kazuo Hirai and had a talk with him about the PS3 and the success of Sony as a whole. Hirai said that the time was right for the slimmer PS3 because Sony wanted to pass the savings on to the customer since it had to put less hardware into the PS3 than it was when the console first launched. The pressure from game developers to cut the price of the console likely figured into the decision as well.
