I want to know the answer to the following question:
Why might Sony have reduced the number of ports on the PlayStation 3 before production?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The initial prototype shown in May 2005 featured two HDMI ports, three Ethernet ports and six USB ports; however, when the system was shown again a year later at E3 2006, these were reduced to one HDMI port, one Ethernet port and four USB ports, presumably to cut costs.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
