UK: PS3 outsells Wii and DS 3 to 1

The PS3 Slim's sales puts the console ahead of all other video gaming hardware, at three times the sales of the Xbox 360, DS Lite and Nintendo Wii individually (they all sold around the same in the week ending 5th September).

As previously reported,PS3 software sales are also up,with a 17 per cent total increase, claiming third place behind the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.

It's also interesting to note that when the PS2 Slim launched, sales increased by "only" 310 per cent over the previous week. Despite this, the PS2 Slim still sold 21 per cent more than the PS3 Slim in it's launch week - though the price of the system was much lower than the PS3 Slim is now.

"The longevity of this uplift very much depends on the time of year. The PS2 Slim was released in November, much closer to Christmas. We'll have to wait and see how things work out for Sony this time," Chart-Tracktold MCV-UK.

The PS3 also saw a15,000 per cent increase in sales in Japan,selling more weekly units than ever before at 150,000 units.

SAUCE

this is expected but the real test is, if they can maintain it.

impressive numbers

Percentage and ratios= irrelevant. I'll wait for actual numbers.

PS3's are actually selling??? Somebody pinch me...

No seriously thats a good job for Sony for finally not being arrogant bigheads and lowering the price. I wonder how long these sales will last tho...

wont last. it has to be sustained to be impressive

Enjoy it while you can Sony.

Now Nintendo should consider price cuts.

Had a feeling it would start selling. Wii and 360 fanboys arent going to like this :lol:

Funny how when you sell dead last every week, sales don't matter.

Oh the irony, it's pathetic.

PS3, 360, and Wii fanboys always cared for sales. Don't even try ;)

There won't be a Wii price drop this year. Next year, perhaps. IF sales go down drastically. Nintendo is relying on software alone to drive Christmas sales, and with 2d Mario coming, I can't really fault them for that. It'll be interesting how much people cry if the Wii manages to outsell Xbox and PS3 without a price drop :D

Expect a crapton of "Wii is a fad", "Wii isn't a real console" "What good is the Wii, really?" etc. sort of posts come January.

wont last. it has to be sustained to be impressive

No whats funny is that now sales don't matter to lemmings. Also funny how they claim now cows care about sales, when all cows are doing is rubbing the sales in the faces of lemmings for being so arrogant to think the 360 would still out sell the ps3. Cows don't care about sales, we just care about making lemmings look bad for having NO business sense lol.
