PS3 SLIM shoots to 999% Sales for Sony (UK)
Cheaper, smaller PS3 goes predictably bananas after UK launch
Chart-Track, the UK body which totally gets off on counting how much things sell, has revealed that Sony saw a stunning 999 per cent leap in sales of PlayStation 3 hardware last week, thanks to the arrival of the new PS3 Slim.
The widely-reported and anticipated PS3 Slim model flew off the shelves, with Chart-Track also pointing out that Sony's machine managed to outsell its console rivals by a ratio of 3:1 last week thanks to the cheaper console - making this precise moment in time a rare point of happiness for the corporation's long-suffering console division.
But will business be back to usual next week, as the price cut impact lessens and Sony's PS3 once again gradually fades from view and public interest? Was this spike merely the result of everyone NOT buying a PS3 for a month, then all buying one at the same time? Will sales all be down from here for the PS3?
Probably.
