30-40% of PS3 Slim launch sales in Japan were from existing PS3 users who wanted to upgrade their old systems. The rest were from fence sitters who waited patiently for the PS3 to reach a more reasonable price point of $299. If you bought a PS3 in the last 3 months it makes you feel sick in the stomach seeing the $299 September price point. If only I could of waited.
550k PS3 sales in first week. Huge drop off expected for second week. PS3 Slim will be lucky if it remains above 300k for the second week.
X360 only 20k off from the Wii. 360 with steady sales compared to same time last year. 360 had its price cuts start of September last year which kick started its sales momentum.
