PS3 beats Xbox 360 and Wii by three to one, sales up 999 percent |

The PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii by a ratio of three to one in the latest ChartTrack sales figures. The 999 percent sales increase follows the launch of the new slimmer PS3 SKU in the UK last tuesday.
While ChartTrack wasn't able to release the actual sales figures, it has confirmed that the console has outsold the Xbox 360, the Nintendo Wii and the DS Lite by three units to one:
The sales increase is very impressive, making the PS3 the top selling hardware in Week 36. The Xbox 360, Wii and DS Lite all sold around the same amount last week – PS3 Slim outsold each of them by a ratio of three-to-one
The longevity of this uplift very much depends on the time of year. The PS2 Slim was released in November, much closer to Christmas. WeÂ’ll have to wait and see how things work out for Sony this time.
Seems like a pretty good week for Sony. The redesigned PS3 was launched in the UK on September 1 for £ 249.99.

When you have people waiting for a slim, coupled with low retail stock, you'd predict/foresee a sales spike/increase developing once the slim hits shelves. I, for one, wasn't surprised.
As Ryan pointed out, we'll have to see if they can keep this up. If so, great! If not...

No-one's going to be buying them 3.
At the same time, a new gadget and everyone that's been waiting for a PS3 price cut, it was going to slaughter them this week. It's just down to whether it can keep up high sales.

Last week only about 30k units sold in every territory, total, that wasnt the US or Japan.
This includes the UK, EU, Asia, Aus and several other territories.
The UK itself only sold 5k units (5,159 to be precise, with a decrease in sales of about 25% compared to the previous week.) Even at a 10x increase, thats still only 50k odd units.
Current estimates are putting the PS3 at about a 500k unit sale point this week alone, though. That is pretty amazing considering the PS3 has only sold about 23.5m units in its current shelf life.
Admittedly, as many have pointed out, the same kind of sales increase has been seen in various consoles after such price cuts (Like the gamecube.)
I hope the trend continues, personally, and heres hoping Sony can do something to keep the momentum up. I honestly dont care what it is, as long as it plays games, and the more units the PS3 sells, the more devs will be willing to make non-cookie cutter games. While God of War and such are excellent titles, I'm hoping for the surge in sales to motivate some people into perchance releasing some less sure fire selling sequels. A nice new Suda51 game or somesuch would be nice.

Only the smart one saw this coming. If you hear about a new product coming out, you're obviously going to wait for it instead of buying the current version. Example: iPhones, PSPs, DSs, etc. There was an increase in Japan when the White PS3 was released. The increase has nothing to do with wether or not one console is better than the other, it's about what is "new and different". People like to keep up with the times and like to be up to date with the latest products.
"999%"
LOL, yeah, because no one bought the PS3 last month. IF Sony sold 1 PS3 in one month, and sold 50 in the next, that would be a 5000% increase. In the month after that they sold 5 PS3s, that would be 4000% decrease.
"Its all about the PS3 now"
LOL.... "now".... How many times have I heard that. I'll definitely be hearing that again when Sony is "forced" to release another version of the PS3 in a few years. And when I mean "forced", I'm not just talking forced by their competitors, but also from the Sony fanboys whining and complaining about wanting something new.

PS3 does good - It is to be expected and it won't last long, it'll probably go back last place after a while
Xbox 360 does good - YEAH MAN NO ***** ITS THE BEST CONSOLE IN THE WORLD
Xbox 360 does bad - It'll pick up next time there weren't many good games out anyway.
And that is your typical 360 fanboy comments. Well kinda to be expected to be the same for PS3 but other way around of course -.- Me I don't care as long as something results in the death of the Wii or finally making arrogant Nintendo drop the price instead of standing there with the same price even with the 360 being cheaper without HDD and PS3 just 50 dollars more with much more features. Oh wait I said I was a 360 fanboy soooooooo DEATH TO PS3!!!!!!!!!

Obviously you don't understand sales and why it is at 999%. There's no point in telling you since the only thing you will believe is whatever helps you sleep at night.

And if all the PS3 fanboys are happy that PS3 is having a good week, what is it to you? PS3 Slim sold 150,252 units in 3 days in Japan. If you don't like the 999%, maybe that's a better # representation for you. Either way, I'm sure Hideo Kojima has better things to do than write a long comment just to ruin in PS3 fanboy's parade.

"if all the PS3 fanboys are happy that PS3 is having a good week, what is it to you? "
.... it matters because they are bragging 999% when they don't understand how much is 999% really is when compared to previous sales. READ THE 2ND PARAGRAPH OF MY FIRST COMMENT.
150,252 units sold in Japan for a "NEW PS3" aka "PS3 SLIM" within 3 days of its release. From August 2-29 of 2009, only 17,536 PS3s were sold in Japan. Do you understand where I am going here? It's not the same model, if it was, the sales wouldn't have increased.

1,556 "FAT" PS3s were sold in Japan from August 23-29 of 2009.

who exactly is "you guys" and nobody acted like Hideo Kojima work exclusively for Sony.
And why does it matter which model it is, end of the day, it's still a ps3. The sale still goes towards total ps3 sales. It's like separating Xbox 360 Arcade and Xbox 360 Elite. There's no point to it. And since the slim sales, bravo to Sony.

I've gotten the username comments almost everywhere, mainly from PS3 users, not just in this article. The Elite and Arcade are basically the same console, inside and out. People know that, so it's not that big of a money maker.
@ jrsmaster411
Didn't restock? What kind of idiot thinking is that! That would be a loss of money. What, you don't think Sony wants to get rid of their old stock? That people would still want to buy the bigger and older version which does the same thing? Looks like you're the moron. People knew the Slim was coming out, its new and cheaper, do you really think they wouldn't wait? 3-1 or 999%, its the same thing, my point still applies to it.
@ Masemune
"PS3 is outselling by 3 to 1."
Error, the PS3 "SLIM" is the reason why it is outselling 3-1. That is the fact, its not BS. The proof is all in the sale numbers of the previous weeks prior to its release.

Four years ago when they expected UK folk to pay £425 for the thing it was literally a complete joke... but it's clear Sony have paid off this "ten year plan" of theirs.

@ Masemune
Idiot, I didn't say the PS3 Slim wasn't a PS3, I was pointing out that PS3 Slim is the reason for sale increase, yet your dumb ass is too stupid to understand that. Your stupidity amazes me, not only do you not know hot to spell, but you can't even use proper grammar while calling someone an idiot, how the ***** does that make you look? You choose not to look at the facts and you're calling me a moron because you can't accept the truth.... damn, you're *****ing dumb.

Actually, you have no proof the PS3 slim is the reason of the sales hike. Say the PS3 got a $100 decrease and there is no PS3 Slim released, are you saying PS3 would not be selling? People would still be coming out to buy due to the decrease of price, which was 1 of the main reason people held back on PS3. The new form is just Sony's traditional marketing strategy. No matter how you spin it, at the end of the day, PS3 made sales. Doesn't matter if it's the fat or slim version. I don't understand why you keep wanting to argue this.

There are literally tens of millions of PS2 owners that have just been waiting to buy a PS3 when the price dropped! Eventually at least 80% of PS2 owners will upgrade. So I predict Sony will reclaim it's crown soon & keep it!
Playstation Sales Charts:
Round 1 = Release date all Hardcore PS2 Fanboys (me) bought one.
Round 2 = Slim / Price drop 80% PS2 owners will upgrade :)
Round 3 = Years from now another price drop lot's of PS3 owners will buy 2nd & 3rd PS3's for others rooms in house & in back of cars/vans.
Round 4 = 2015 the might Playstation 4 begins....Repeat above...

And thus, you must spend all your time watching me, so you're a hypocrite. Good day, sir.
Also, "Hidden Chamber", you might as well return to your own since, like I said, you're denying me, thus you're too low to even have your voice heard.

Despite the fact that sales dipped before this increase the PS3 still outsold its competitors 3:1 which is impressive considering the DS was in that list.
Anyway, I don't see why people are happy that a system outsold another system its not like we win a free hat or something (but if Sony sends out some kind of thank you then we all win lulz) but I can certainly understand everyone being impressed. Its a good sign for Sony and in a way its a good sign for fans. Better sales could mean more support from developers...Actually I guess that could be a reason for people being happy about sales.

I don't anyone that has two PS3. People can talk all they want, but I doubt more then 5% of existing PS3 owners bought another one. If they can to sell their old one or give it to another person, and that is not much. PSP ans DS are cheaper. Or if console keeps on breaking down like the 360.

Oh they exist.
I found myself at some wii forums while looking into softmodding the thing (may as well get some use out of it :P)
and they are the most deluded people I've ever come accross.... 90% worse than xbox fanboys
but they must know on some level because you generally wont come accross them outside wii only sites lmao

the only systems that do is
Hardware-PS2(99% all Game work 100%)
PS3 20
PS3 60
Software PS2(60% Games work 90%)
PS3 80(old version)
And sony has no plans to Make any of the FAT version at a Lower cost, So more or less all them Guys waiting for the cost to go down to have Both PS3/PS2 just wasted there time.
Lucky for me i Save money after every system like right now i am saving for PS4
(just hope it's no less then 700$)
side note- I don't even think any of the PS2 able systems are even being made anymore let alone at stores (And that's very sad)

My whole point was there are a LOT of PS2 owners out there that were waiting for a price drop + probably will upgrade now! PS2 games look older + older. It's like how many people use there PS2 consoles to play PS1 games today?
Once I got into the PS3 quality of graphics, I don't want to play PS2 anymore. GTA3 vs GTA4 - no going back LOL...
Bottom line PS2 has a MASSIVE user base + it's just a matter of time before the majority of 'em upgrade to PS3.

Felis, I actually really don't care, because I'm not a nerd :)
BTW I think I told you already I own two PS3s and like 20 games for them, spent more on that than on my 360. I guess that makes me a 360 fanboy? You're weird. Thanks for mentioning me in pretty much all of your posts tho, glad to know I'm hated by QJ's biggest troll haha

But on a side note.
I understand your point But i kind of don't agree with it, There is still many more PS2 games that well out perform some PS3 games
(Yea they don't have Realistic graphics)
But for me that has never been a big factor in why i play games, The Main reason for what games i play is all about game play and story line. For a good example would be RPG games, There is just Way more better RPG games on PS2 then PS3 (Sadly FFXIII is going to Suck as they messed it up YET AGAIN on the fighting) Sad day for true Final Fantasy Players.
