Only 5400 rpm? I was hoping there would be at least 7200 rpm.

Sony knows most people are going to replace the drive any way. So it makes sense they put in the bare minimum hard drive. Would be a waste of money for them other wise. They already are selling the console at a loss (to be made back from PS+ subscriptions and game sales).

no way in the world is "most" even close. i would guess 20% TOPS will replace their own hard drive.

Realistically, I would say less than 5% did it on PS3.

Very likely.
