According to an article posted on Computer & Video Games, a German online retailer has claimed on Facebook that a new PS3 SKU will be release next month that offers 12GB of flash memory. Sony denied the rumor via German PR chief Guido Alt who told CVG "he knew nothing of the existence of such a console."
More Info From CVG:
"In July it emerged that Sony Computer Entertainment had submitted what appear to be plans for a new PS3 model to the Federal Communications Commission.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said in a research note released last night that Sony looks to be preparing to introduce new hardware.
"The PlayStation 3 160 GB plus Move bundle debuted at $299 in 2010, two full years ahead of Wii U's debut. It is worth noting that PlayStation 3 160 GB plus Move bundles have disappeared off of many retailer shelves, suggesting to us that Sony is starving the channel ahead of a new hardware introduction that would likely cost less than Wii U's Basic Set.
"We can only speculate that Sony will offer a PS3 without a hard drive at a price point below $200, and we expect a PS3/Move bundle at the $249 price point in the next several weeks.""
