PS3 - Sales Up 300%, Says Sony
Since the launching of the new 40 GB and 80 GB PS3 models on November 3, the PlayStation 3 experienced a nearly 300% increase in sales. This is according to Sony Computer Entertainment America's recent press release.
The estimates were put in this Black Friday and the 245% increased PS3 sales was way beyond last year's Black Friday. But this was quite understandable knowing that Sony was going through some stock issues with the shaky console launch.
Also, a couple of big games for the PlayStation 3 which was released just in time for the holiday season might have helped boost sales as well. Here is the full press release from Sony:
"Today, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) announced that overall PlayStation brand unit sales during the week including Black Friday increased by 178%, sales dollars increased by 154%.
Below are the sales figures for each PlayStation platform for the week including Black Friday for the top 10 retailers in North America:
PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) hardware sales increased by 245% when compared to Black Friday sales last year.
Since November 2nd, and the availability of both the 40GB and 80GB PS3 models, PS3 hardware sales have increased by 298%.
PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) hardware sales increased by 136% when compared to previous week sales.
PlayStation®2 (PS2) hardware sales increased by 287% when compared to previous week sales."
