PS3 Sales Up
November 17th, 2007 | by Fitri |
So, you wonder how the new 40GB PS3 SKU affects sales? The absorption is increased or the Xbox 360 and Wii still dominate the shop before? Well, the good news for Sony is that according to the latest sales figures are in place, and by quite a margin, much to the delight of Sony CEO Howard Stringer, who has been called “a breakthrough that we were anticipating “although he did admit that” we were holding our breath. ”
Actual figures were sold before the release of new models at around 30 to 40000 per week, while according to the figures were out to 75000 after the start of the week and the week after 100000. Obviously, the acquisition of new SKU in the period before Christmas and will permit the sale would probably have risen now anyway, but the momentum will be assessed by Sony whatever reasons.
Current overall sales figures suggest Sony has shipped about five million PlayStation 3 since its launch last year (March here in the UK), slightly less than the 9.3 million Wiis and 11.6 million Xbox 360s . As if Stringer remarked: “It’s just a coincidence that the Wii is short of equipment”.
Many people, after a Nintendo for Christmas, may find themselves disappointed and inevitably some of them will eventually catch a PS3 or Xbox, or at least that’s the theory. In any case, this is proof that there is still life in the PlayStation 3 at the moment, especially with games like Ratchet & Clank: Tools destruction, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune and Little Big Planet finally beginning to emerge
