Very Nice Can't wait to see some numbers!!!

Absolutely incredible!! So the Revolution begins for Sony.

Great sales! Slim doing gangbusters. Wrong forum section though, surely? Maybe a mod can relocate this?

Also says 360 Elite sales are up 29% on last week. 360 as a whole rose 43% last week in the UK and since a large part was down to the Elite SKU, then that's a great 2 week rise.

Damn sephiroth just shot off his meteor on t3h ps3's slim salez!

TEH C3LL HAS WOKEN UP...... B3LI3V3

more data from uk

PS3 is shown as ‘+999%’ over week 35. The system is set to display +999% when it encounters huge increases, so the actual increase in PS3 unit hardware sell-through is around 11X - so 11 times what PS3 was selling the previous week. Obviously people have been waiting for PS3 Slim.
360 is up +29% over the same time period.
PS3 is the lead format in week 36 and is outselling 360/DS Lite/Wii (not combined, individually - they were all selling around the same amount in week 36) by approx 3:1.
PS3 is the lead hardware format for week 36, 2009 and the last time it did this was back in week 1, 2008.
PS3 software sales have increased by 17% (units) over week 35 to claim 3rd place in terms of software format units behind 360 & Wii (up from 4th place in week 35).
PS3 software sales have increased by 5% (value) over week 35 to remain 2nd by value behind 360 (was also No2 in week 35, up from No4 in week 34).
Note that PS2 Slim came out in week 44, 2004 and showed an increase of +310% over the previous week (an increase of 3X).
Comparing the sales of all PS2 hardware in week 44, 2004 and all PS3 hardware in week 36, 2009 this shows that PS2 outsold PS3 by 21%, but of course PS2 was much cheaper at that point in the life cycle (approx £100) compared to the ASP for PS3 last week (approx £244). PS2 Slim came out in the first week of November 2004 and in Q4 you woud be expecting healthier numbers for most hardware formats.

I don't understand how this happened. It was only a £50 price cut and a new model. Imagine what happened in mainland Europe which had a 100 Euro price cut :O
