According to Chart Track, in the UK the PS3 has sold 11 times more than that of the previous week putting it ahead of the 360 and Wii sales by a 3 - 1 ratio. According to Gamezine if all the numbers are added correctly this puts the sales of the PS3 slim around:

40,000 units sold in the UK

But even more impressive was Japan, as the PS3 sales crashed in Japan prior to the release of the PS3 slim due to the PS3 being out of stock as one point, and another of that being the wait for the PS3 slim. Well that market crash more than made up in numbers when the PS3 reached an astounding:

150,000 units sold in Japan

These sale numbers are based from Famitsu so they are pretty legit.

LoL, not a cow though the PS3 is my favorite system this gen. But as for the sales, yeah I thought it be informative, especially after all the 360 fans bragging about how the 360 does so much better in sales.

Sony's price drop + slim method just before the megatons that are FFXIII and GT5 may be one of the best business decisions that Sony has made in years.

Glad to see the PS3 getting some love! To me the 360 and the PS3 are far better consoles than the Wii.

I thought sales stopped being relevant after Nintendo kicked everybody's asses?


Anyways, this is to be expected, seeing as there was a huge price drop and redesign of the console. I wonder how long this momentum will last.


Still, nothing has changed. Sony is still in last place and it will be tough for them to even surpass the 360.

Actually if you'd bother to look at my profile you'd have called me a lemming. Even though I own all 3 I have like 40 360 games and 10 wii and PS3 games. I'll admit though that I'd have more PS3 games but I've only had it 3 months. To me the 360 and PS3 are virtually equal. While the Wii is a very distant 3rd!

Although the sales were up 11 times more than the week before that's not surprising since nobody would buy a PS3 the week before because of the rumored price drops and the new slim model coming out.

i agree...if GT5 comes out worldwide plus FFXIII in japan, things are going to be HUGE.

Wii, will take over again when it gets a price drop and another gimmick game comes out, or if they change the colour, it always seems to work wonders with the tools that bought the different DS colours and versions
