PS3 Sales Double In US As Wii Shortage Continues
Posted by Victor Dangelo | Nov 15, 2007 09:17

The sales of the Sony PS3 have doubled since Sony dropped the price of the 80GB PS3 and introduced the 40GB $399 model.

Sony has also been taking advantage of the fact that Nintendo has continued to have a shortage of Wii consoles on store shelves.

The CEO of Sony Corp. Howard Stringer stated that the price cuts of the PS3 as well as the new 40GB model have made the PS3 an extremely popular console compared to the Xbox 360 and Wii this holiday season.

Sony is very happy about the fact that they have been selling 30,000 to 40,000 consoles per week since they dropped the 80GB model down to $499 and introduced the 40GB model at $399. These sales numbers have continued since October 18 and do not seem to be slowing down.

For the week of October 29 sales picked up as Sony sold 75,000 PS3 consoles, and one week later, Sony sold 100,000 PS3 units.

In regards to the Wii shortage he stated "It’s a little fortuitous that the Wii is running out of hardware."

"It’s the breakthrough we’ve been anticipating. We’ve been holding our breath."

"Obviously, we’ve taken so much heat over the year on PS3. Finally, the turning point has been passed."

It has been passed indeed, as the goal now is to catch the installed user base of the Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360.
