Talking in the wake of SCEE's announcement that it would be phasing the 40GB model out in Europe to make room for a new 80GB SKU - Hirai's personal idea - he added that the move was proof of PS3's ability to ‘evolve'.

Hirai told MCV:
"The PS3 is a console that evolves and specifications will change over time. Ultimately, if the consumers require a higher capacity hard drive, the ability to do that is there.
"40GB is obviously less than 80GB, but it's still a high number and a very powerful machine. We strive to evolve and offer the most compelling value we can at any point in time. If consumers require extra hard drive, they can just swap it out.
