Venn Diagram Of PlayStation 3 Models

Chris Kohler of Wired's Game|Life blog breaks down the PlayStation 3 models in a handy Venn diagram for the class. I don't see how this isn't a problem for Sony. It's a bit of a weirdness for Microsoft - but they have a much more streamlined lineup with variants basically being hard drive space and HDMI output. Oh, and color.

I also noted over at Curmudgeon that I think Sony's other problem is the slow rate of HDTV adoption, since there's no way any PS3 is preceeding such a purchase. Based on recent news, only 36% of homes will have an HDTV by year's end - and certainly not 100% of those will be gamers.
