PS3 sales up 999%

Quote:

Sales of Sony's redesigned Slim beat Xbox 360, Wii and DS Lite by 3:1

Having launched at UK retail last Tuesday, Sony’s PS3 console has enjoyed a colossal week-on-week sales jump, with numbers of ChartTrack’s Week 36 showing a 999 per cent sales increase over the week before.
ChartTrack has told MCV that it is not releasing specific sales numbers, but did say:
“The sales increase is very impressive, making the PS3 the top selling hardware in Week 36. The Xbox 360, Wii and DS Lite all sold around the same amount last week – PS3 Slim outsold each of them by a ratio of three-to-one.”
The sales-tracking firm added that it’s unsure how long the uplift will continue for.
“The longevity of this uplift very much depends on the time of year. The PS2 Slim was released in November, much closer to Christmas. We’ll have to wait and see how things work out for Sony this time.”

By comparison, sales of PS2 climbed 310 per cent on the release of the Slim model, outperforming PS3 sales this week by 21 per cent.

Really is impressive news. I think it has more to do with the price reduction than the redesign. It is now affordable!

Woah, 999% increase? I didn't think those figures were even possible on any console. I still prefer my old fat 60GB console.

I agree, the masses don't care at all about the design, the price is decisive. Many former PSX and PS2 owners were waiting for the PS3 to slip into an affordable price region, which it finally did.

With the many AAA PS3 exclusive titles like Uncharted 2, GT5, God of War 3, FFXIII (VS) coming out in the near future, the PS3 will be keeping momentum through spring 2010.
If they do it right, the new motion controllers combined with a slight price decrease could keep the sales rolling well into summer 2010 and beyond.
But I'm not too confident about the motion controllers, because they seem not to be intended for core gamers. They won't sell them (only) in pairs and maybe they won't even come with any analogue stick...but we'll know for sure in 3 weeks (Tokyo Game Show 09).
Sony wouldn't stand a chance against the Wii casual (aka crap) onslaught, so they better not try to compete solely on this territory with their new controllers...or this will have fail written allover it.

Yeah i love my o.g. ps3, good to see the new slims are flying off the shelves though. Lots of killer titles in the next year being released so i think this combined with many waiting for this price drop to happen is going to equal big gains for the ps3 this next year to come.

Outselling the competition 3:1? 150k in japan? how is that even possible, the PS3 is doomed, sucks ass, and has no games.
