U.S. Sony president Dave Karraker is calling quotes taken from an interview with Sony Europe’s David Reeves in regards to the phasing out of the 60 gigabyte PlayStation 3, inaccurate.

According to Joystiq, Karraker said, “As announced this week, \[Sony Computer Entertainment America\] SCEA’s product offering in North America consists of a 80GB PS3 available in August at $599 and a 60GB PS3 available now for $499\. We have will have ample supplies of both models to meet the needs of our consumers for the foreseeable future.”

The Gamesindustry.biz reported Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves said that the 60GB PS3 will no longer be available in the US after stock sells out — which he thinks will happen by the end of the July.
