PS3 Sees 'Very Strong Sales, Positioned for Amazing Holiday'
Posted September 8, 2011 by James Brightman

Sony has just issued its NPD related statement and as usual the company did not disclose actual sales numbers, but Sony does indicate that sales picked up quite a bit after the $50 price cut in mid-August.

"Despite inventory constraints at retail during the first half of August, PS3 hardware sales were very strong the last two weeks of the month following the $50 price cut and the new inFAMOUS 2 bundle. The new PS3 price point, combined with PlayStation Move and the industry's strongest lineup of exclusive titles, including Uncharted 3 and Everybody Dance, positions us for an amazing holiday season," said Patrick Seybold, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications at SCEA.

forums depend on ps3 outselling the other consoles ive been reading alot of threads theres alot on the line for certain posters

doubt it will happen though around me some retailers had the 160gb ps3 still listed for 299 even days after the price drop (not that they were charging that much but that they forgot to change the tag) and it was only a few days ago that i started seeing the 299 infamous bundle, overall theres was really little awareness of the price drop

huh?  bit dramatic isnt it?   dont be shy... name and shame.

well i like to be overly dramatic to create some forum activity

ive been relatively quite concerning sales for over a year now i dont really stick my nose in the UP threads as much as i used to and combine that with taking the glasses off.   i read threads late and dont think it would be meaningful to post in them so by the time i see posts i would like to comment on the argument has already died down

there have been alot since the ps3 price drop but the one that i remember recently was the "retun of the undertracked"z"" with seece and ethomaz

that doesnt represent "a lot on the line" for either of seece or ethomaz.  its nowhere near that important.  

Funny thing is I didn't even say it wasn't undertracked, just that ethomaz had no proof either way. I swear some of the tripe people come up with here, embarrassing. Still I guess anything to detract from his own awful predictions.

That's great, but it doesn't tell us much. I need numbers, damn it!

I didn't know there where inventory constraints, didn't see any mention of it these past weeks.

I doubt Everybody Dance is one of the strongest exclusives, didn't even know the title existed, lol.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Don't care about either, you were talking about Americas with no proof.

Looks like the Ps3 is not the number 1 home console. It might be 360, ps3 and wii. With the 3ds #1 overall.
