Sales of PlayStation 3 jump 135 percent since price dropDVDBack23 @ Jul 24, 2007 21:34 | 41 comments
Sony says the numbers are a combination of sales from the company's five largest retailers. As an added bonus, total hardware sales were up 161 percent, software was up 15 percent, and peripherals were up 60 percent.
The price of the 60 GB model of the console dropped to $499, a hundred dollar price dip.
"The new price on the 60 GB PS3, coupled with our very strong software showing from E3, is certainly paying dividends in terms of impressive sales across the board at retail," said Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony America.
Tretton continued, "This jump in sales bodes very well for us heading into the fall as we launch an impressive arsenal of hardware and software, leading off with the new 80 GB PS3 in August along with the unveiling of highly anticipated games such as Lair and Warhawk. That will be followed by Heavenly Sword in September and six more exclusive first-party PS3 games in October, including Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction."
For the month of June, PS3 sales jumped 21 percent from May's sales with just under 100,000 sold.

Comment by: peiratis (Jul 28, 2007 05:25) How do you know that the ps3 will outsell the xbox 360? You can't back this up, you can't know if the wii will stay on the top either.All three next-gen consoles are top of their class, you can't predict what will happen in a year or even in a week. Analysts make prediction, but hey! Weren't they the ones that used to say the wii won't sell anything.....You never know the outcome with these things.

Comment by: Gehnma (Jul 28, 2007 10:27) It all depends on what kind of gamer you are. Right now both systems are making too many shooters. I am an RPG person, I know the games are coming, Hell, I bought a PS3 JUST FOR FFXIII... its just what you crave, or want in a system. |
Comment by: Gehnma (Jul 28, 2007 10:30) Also wanted to add, Personally, I don't follow the systems as a rule. I follow the franchises. There are certain franchises that I just like to play, one main one being square-enix, then capcom and team silents games. I go where the storytelling is... If the games have excellent storytelling then I go there. |
Comment by: GH057 (Jul 28, 2007 11:15) Well, the wii is not on top yet, but its amolst caught up to the Xbox 360 and it has potential to stay up there.

Comment by: crosseye (Jul 29, 2007 18:41) Heck with all this crap about which system is better, some people drive fords, some chevy's, but they get there just the same. I bought the ps3 because of upcoming games and the blu-ray player built inside. |

Comment by: Hewitt97 (Aug 08, 2007 15:23) Well TRU003, it would be prudent if you checked your spelling and grammatical errors before you spewed...Maybe we should ask MS to include spelling and grammer check in the future so the proverbial foot can stay out of one's mouth. I check the articles for a reason and not to read childish back and forth nonsense.. |
