Some sources are saying it's USA only? So more than that in NA? Or are they just confusing NA with USA? Argh

Wow, a lot more than what VGChartz estimated! Perhaps they accidently used the DS algorithm...

160k for the biggest shopping week of the year for a new system with a $80 price reduction for the week + relatively new color + high-end game bundled + download code for another new game ... isn't good by basically any metric. Even the GameCube would be ashamed of itself for a Black Friday week like that.

But it's better than the "dead as heck" level the Vita is usually at.

Well, consider that 3DS sold 250k during the same week.

Did 3DS get any price-slashing game bundles?

More good news...

"Sony also announced that sales of PlayStation Plus subscriptions on PlayStation®Network increased 259% compared to last year’s Black Friday period. In addition, since the Instant Game Collection was introduced earlier this year, customer satisfaction rates for PS Plus are above 95%."

"In Latin America, which isn’t included in the sales figures provided, PlayStation 3 saw a staggering 200% year-over-year growth"

All in all, thats fantastic. 200% growth!

So, PS3 sales probably around 800k worldwide, right?

Where are you getting the 800K from?

im not here for that ...anyone that posts in sales threads taking them seriously *from vgc* is wasting their time and always has. Theres a reason no one in the industry finds the site credible.

well considering vgchartz understrached it in NA by about 130k, add that to the numbers vgchartz did track and it will be about 800k
