Knowing sony, if it is a hardware change its only being put in place to reduce manufacturing cost! like what they did with the psp.
Sorry to be anal, but every hardware manufacturer in the world does this. As technology progresses power consumption, failure rates, physical size and cost of manufacturing inevitably fall. It would be madness to avoid adopting these superior revisions of the same hardware. It means bigger profits and a generally superior hardware unit for the consumer.
This will be similar to the dozens of revisions the PS2 had and the many that the 360 also had, simply a change over to the newer and superior components.
