At launch, we offered two separate models of PlayStation 3 to meet the diverse needs and interests of our PlayStation fan base. Initial retail demand in North America was upwards of ninety percent in favor of the 60GB SKU, so we manufactured and shipped-in accordingly.

Due to the overwhelming demand for the 60GB model from both retailers and consumers, we have ceased offering the 20GB model here in North America. In addition to the larger internal hard drive, the 60GB PlayStation 3 features added storage media slots and built-in Wi-Fi not found in the 20GB system. Based on retailer and consumer feedback, we have decided to focus our current efforts on the more popular 60GB model.


Good night 20GB PS3...

Well, there you have it. It's not "official". It makes sense. There's more demand for the 60GB model then that's what they should make more of.
Did it even sell well? No.
It's hard to sell anything well if the stores are asking for a different model. Has the PS3 overall sold that great...nope, but the 20 gig was far less requested then it's 60 gig counterpart.
