Sony faceman and bringing of all tidings Playstation 3 Dave Karraker delivered some interesting PS3 launch details earlier today.

Although Sony, like Nintendo, isn't talking specific numbers they have confirmed that their console sold out "within hours."

Biggest selling game: Resistance: Fall of Man, followed by Madden '07

The $599 60GB model was the top selling SKU (over the $499 20GB model)

PSP week-over-week sales increased +29% at our top 5 retailers (week ending Nov. 20)

PS2 week-over-week sales increased +24% at our top 5 retailers (week ending Nov. 20)

Dave Letterman used the system launch to mock Pres. Bush, Wal-Mart used it to attack Sen. John Edwards and Nike used it to create a pair of shoes that no one will be able to buy.

Duh, of course the PS3s sold out fast. Sony only made like five of 'em.
