PS3 Slim Sells 500,000 units worldwide in the first week

In what is probably the most successful console re-launch in history, over half a million PS3 "slims" were sold last week worldwide according to our preliminary data - this represents over a 400% increase week on week

 

In what is probably the most successful console re-launch in history, over half a million PS3 "slims" were sold last week worldwide according to our preliminary data - this represents over a 400% increase week on week (and a number of retailers in the US had already started selling the new model PS3 last week).

 

In Europe, some regions saw as much as a tenfold increase in PS3 sales (admittedly, sales had been low the previous week as consumers anticipated the new model launch) - around 250,000 units were sold in "other regions" (Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia etc) according to our preliminary data. In Japan, reports have already been independently confirmed from Famitsu magazine of over 150,000 units sold - twice as much as the previous best week for PS3. Sales in Americas also saw a large increase, over 125,000 units according to preliminary data (although this could be higher as more info comes in).

 

PS3 software also saw significant increases - many PS3 versions of multi-platform titles comfortably outselling their 360 counterparts this week. The big question will be how long can this bump be sustained for - we expect a fair dropoff next week but PS3 should remain ahead of 360 and Wii for most of September if not longer than that.

 

Stay tuned for more data as it comes in... and please note that this data is still preliminary at this stage. We can say with a fair amount of certainty that between 500,000 and 600,000 units were sold but will not know the exact figure until all of the finalised data is in.

 

 

Total number of consoles sold this year up till last week:

 

X360: 4810683

PS3: 4309695 Difference: 500988

 

That means PS3 will have almost closed the gap with x360 for this year, wich took 360 8 months in just 1 week. Wich means in two weeks PS3 will be ahead of 360 for this year. Now that's what i call a comeback.

PS3 Sales Rocketing, Leaving Nintendo Lost in the Dust?

We knew it was likely to happen, we just didn't realize how big the effect was going to be: According to some reports, the PS3 make-over and price drop has resulted in sales rocketing 1000%. Is Sony beating its gaming rivals?

 

The data comes from Chart Track, and though the company doesn't reveal its analysis of actual units sold, it's confident in that 1000% figure--representing 11 times as many consoles sold last week in the U.K. than in the previous week.

 

Great news for Sony, but what about its competition? The main rival in terms of seventh-generation games consoles is the Xbox 360, of course--and a separate report suggests the drop in price of the Xbox to match the PS3 (for the top-end model) pushed its sales up too. But in Microsoft's case, it was just a 43% sales boost in the U.K. Chart Track are also suggesting the PS3 out-sold the DS, and the Wii too, meaning it took the spot as lead-selling games console in the U.K. Simultaneously, software sales for the PlayStation have risen 17% in terms of units sold.

 

Meanwhile, there's a report in the Financial Times that suggests Nintendo's bosses are really scratching their heads over this one--how does Nintendo respond to the price cuts of its two chief rivals? In terms of raw price, it's no longer that much cheaper than the competition (and it's more expensive than the low-end Xbox Arcade), and while it offers the signature motion-control input for games, the other consoles offer much more sophisticated games and more future-proofing. Particularly the PS3 with its HD-movie capable Blu-ray drive. Both the Microsoft and Sony consoles are also adding motion-control systems at some point in the next year, and both systems look to be offering far more complex game interaction than Nintendo's can.

 

Will Nintendo ride out the storm, keeping the Wii pegged at $250 as it has since its launch? Will it just rely on the newly-released Wii Motion Plus accessory (which significantly boosts the Wiimote's accuracy) and the associated Wii Sports Resort game, along with Wii Fit Plus and New Super Mario Bros. to get it through a tricky Winter? The Wii's still selling well, and historically has outsold both the PS3 and Xbox, and though its importance in the gaming market seems to be diminishing, the dollars that are still rolling in could well be used to fund a next-gen Wii that could compete more equally with the PS3 and Xbox.

 

However Nintendo plays it, it begins to look like Sony's really concreted the PS3's near-future--and with these figures, and the motion control due soon, the PlayStation actually looks like it could begin to take the lead in the console wars in 2010.

ColorWare Colorizes the PS3 Slim

Well I guess it was only a matter of time before ColorWare put their mark on the PS3 Slim. I mean they colorized the original PS3 before it, so it only made sense to attempt to do it again. They have pulled out all the stops to not only colorize the console but the controller as well. You can customize the color of the PS3 logo, the top of the console, or the bottom. Basically you can turn your PS3 Slim into a technicolor dreamcoat if you wanted. ColorWare would have it no other way. Once colorized, everything is high-gloss and scratch resistant. It’s better than a paint job on your car! If you want to send yours in, it will cost you $149 to ColorWare it or you can just buy one from them for $449.
