North American PS3 Sales Confirm Growth

[wraggster]

Although Sony's price cut on the PlayStation 3 had the intended effect in Japan, spurring on sales of the system, the outcome in North America was a question mark until Sony recently released its latest figures. The verdict: sales have "more than doubled."

According to Macworld, Sony announced its latest numbers on Thursday, claiming a 192 percent boost in sales of the 40GB and 80GB system at the continent's top-10 retailers. While this represents an enormous leap in sales for the company, it will have to do better to catch up with the Wii: In October, Nintendo shipped 519,000 Wii systems to Sony's 121,000 PS3s.

I've been hearing their starting to sell out in some stores now, so it looks like by December you might not be able to find a PS3 :)

Going to be joining the Wii in terms of shortages huh? Well, I never figured that would happen, seeing the slowness in sales that was going on earlier this year. I wonder if that would happen in the UK though...

I do believe its selling way better in the UK and Japan.
