Well look at that: not only is the PS3 Slim a big success over in Japan, but it’s also doing pretty damn well here in the U.S. Sales were up some 300 percent in at Sony’s “top retailers,” comparing the the week it launched to the previous week.
And while a video game console is usually only as good as its latest hit (not necessarily true with the PS3, since it has a Blu-ray player), Sony also noted that the big titles people are looking forward to are: Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III, Assassin’s Creed II, Gran Turismo 5, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. All sequels, you may have noticed.
For the thousandth time: how different things would be today had Sony launched the PS3 Slim back in 2006!
I dont think they would of been different because the price was super high $600 i believe at first than a price cut to about $400 and now its has a face lift and another price cut to $299 – so I tihnk people are like HOLY **** :) ima go grab maself a cheap blu ray player and play some games aswell :) w/e my .002
The Slim didn’t really do much for me. 360 still has enough exclusives that I dropped the money on a Pro last weekend, over the PS3.
Johnny Drama on shrooms!
Well gee Mr. Wizard! Charge a reasonable price for your product and make a LOT more profit. Who’d have thought? You hear that Apple?
These figures are very impressive. The PS3 Slim is a very resonable price, People complaing about the price just dont understand how much technology and work goes into these consoles!
I believe there will be more deals announcing for the Christmas season and we will see an even greater increase in the sales for PS3.
