Sony confirmed Wednesday it has discontinued production of the 20 GB PlayStation 3 in North America. The announcement came after several weeks of speculation stoked by a gaming blog Joystiq, which asserted that electronics retailer Best Buy had classified the 20 GB model as “discontinued.” “Due to the overwhelming demand for the 60 GB model from both retailers and consumers, we have ceased offering the 20 GB model here in North America,” Dave Karraker, senior communication director, said.
