PlayStation 3 sales jumped by over 300% in the week following the August 22 price drop across the 160GB and 320GB models in New Zealand.

The new recommended retail price of $479.95 for 160GB and $579.95 for 320GB model represents a saving of roughly $150 on the former recommend retail price.

“The PS3 is already the number one selling console. The new price point represents fantastic value for money as PlayStation 3 delivers full HD games, Blu-ray capability, plus music, movies, TVNZ Ondemand and more. It is the ultimate home entertainment experience,” said David Hine, Director of Sales and Marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment NZ.

The sales spike is based on official industry data from The NPD Group Australia – formerly published as GfK New Zealand data.

Percentage increases look much better than actual numbers in NZ. We're a tiny tiny market.

As long as PS3 outsells 360 soon, I'm happy. I wonder how small our market in Canada is.... Everyone plays COD on 360 where I live except me! :P
