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.

Amazing news... the first time Sony didn't use "worldwide momentum" or "playstation family" .

PS3 done good in US this time.

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

You mean 360 and wii? I see 3DS being 1.

It would be great to see the wii first but with the momentum of the 360 and price cut for ps3 and could see wii number 3.

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

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=133470&page=7

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.

then why did you quote him and accuse his beliefs to only being because the numbers arent where he would like them to be? just b/c he didnt have any proof doesnt mean that his belief is bias he could have his own evidence that isnt possible to present at that time

@ kowen ethomaz and others just found it hard to believe that SW and HW werent up despite the price cut and simply stated that he expected adjustments soon, i believe he would be referring to this NPD with that comment. i also did post that the comment was made in an overly dramatic manner, it wont matter to them in real life at all but in there vgc forum life it would and there relationship going forward from this will also be impacted
