Sony has fuelled speculation that a new PlayStation 3 could be on the cards after the firm confirmed it is 'considering' launching an updated machine.
The confirmation came after it was revealed Sony has filed an application with the US government for an 80Gb PlayStation 3.
According to Bloomberg, Sony spokesperson Satoshi Fukuoka said the decision is "in line with our strategy as we had planned to choose models based on consumer needs".
Bloomberg also reports that Sony is "considering introducing the model with a bigger hard disk", as stated by Fukuoka, though he did not provide any further details.
Meanwhile a Nikkei business report has stated Sony will boost PS3 shipments in 2007/08 to 10 million units - a rise of more than 65 per cent over the six million units the company aimed to ship by March 2007.
