Forums - Sony - Ps3 Slim Sales Increase 104%

 Its a massive jump for the PS3. Even with the elite price drop it doesn't seem like it even effected sales. 

Over the same period, the Xbox 360 saw sales increase by a more modest 32% rising from 56,448 the week before price cut to 74,689 the week after. Sales for the Wii dropped 4% to a total of 74,245 for the week. What the numbers for the three consoles are showing is basically a three-way tie for sales.

With the PS3 Slim packing in Blu-ray the console is suddenly a retail sales juggernaut reports VGChartz. The weekly console sales numbers are in and Sony should be happy with the stats. Since the PS3 Slim started trickling into the market on August 25, sales of the console have jumped by a massive 104% across the board moving from 37,167 consoles the week before the new model to 75,931 once the Slim was in stores.

A few other related news is the new 3.0 update is having problems on some consoles heres the link if you want to read on http://www.techtree.com/India/News/Gamers_face_PS3_Firmware_30_Woes/551-106074-585.html

Start low = high % change.



What's the point of quoting an article that quotes VGC on VGC?

WE had a thread on this yesterday



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

and guaranteed to go EVEN higher.
because of the low stock of ps3, and late price cut.



it should increase more next week...but interesting fact:
The PS3 slim was available to customers on the 25th
MS announced their price drop for the 360 started on the 28th

The week ended on the 29th...

In other words next week should be interesting



ya... 100% of nothing is still nothing. we should wait till the end of the month to see how high it goes.



PS3 IS KING!
