82% drop in PS3 sales in UK

PlayStation3 registered an 82 percent drop in hardware sales for the week ending April 1, it's second week on sale in the UK, according to official Chart Track hardware sales figures we're not supposed to have.

This is not really a surprise, as everyone who wanted a PS3 now has a PS3. Its brief blip of possible popularity has ended.

Chart Track only publicly released software sales figures for the last week, which were slightly more flattering to PS3 - showing over a 60 percent drop, as everyone who only bought Motorstorm bought Resistance and everyone who only bought Resistance bought Motorstorm.

The UK's brief love affair with the PS3 is over it seems.

actually, this is very common..

Now that every cow and HD-fan has a PS3 the rest of the public is just waiting for a reduction in price :)

Yup! 

Anyone who thought it wouldn't is braindead.

UKresistance? Oh please this site is crap.

I don't know about the consoles but the sales for Motorstorm and Resistance have dropped by 60%, but they are still at No. 2 and 3 in the UK Gamecharts...

And my predictions come true...

I said the PS3 would have a strong launch in Europe comprising of Sony fans, technophiles and those swept-up by the hype. Once the dust has cleared we are left with very few people excited by the prospect of buying a PS3.

Not at £425 it wouldn't, the PS3 has a very niche audience on price alone.

What im saying is the mere fact that its a "Sony" product should have everyone up in arms trying to get one. I mean why wouldnt you want a PS3?  :shock:
