PS3 Enjoys Retail-Wide Sales Spike After Price Cut

[wraggster]

Sony, after nearly two years on standing firm on PS3's price, dropped the console to $249, and it's been having an immediate impact. GameStop has already noted a 'significant' increase in PS3 sales (http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ps3-and-3ds-both-see-significant-sales-bump-says-gamestop/), while big box retailer Target confirmed an 'immediate lift' in sales (http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ps3-enjoys-immediate-lift-in-sales-at-target/) and recommended PS3 as a 'great option' for its customers. Not only that, but leading e-tailer Amazon saw PS3 sales explode by 400% (http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ps3-sales-on-amazon-jump-400-on-price-cut/) in the days after the price cut. All told, in the months ahead, analysts are expecting (http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ps3-sales-expected-to-rise-as-much-as-30-on-price-cut/) Sony to see as much as a 30% sales bump for PS3 this holiday season."
