While the PlayStation 3 suffered through a decrease go away just about everywhere - despite shattering open records in the UK this past March - the system has definitely experienced a major sales upswing since the 40GB introduction and the 80GB price displace. You've already seen some of the early results from the US but it isn't the only region to see greatly increased PS3 sales.
According to PSU. Sony's next-gen console has taken a "dominating role" over the past few weeks in both Germany and Japan. Not surprisingly the PS3 is mired in third place in Germany but it still outstripped its two competitors in the month of October: retailers apparently inform 37,000 PS3 units sold while the Wii came in second at 28,000 and the Xbox 360 a distant third at 12,000. Perhaps change surface more shocking is the meteoric rise of the PS3 over the Wii in the past couple weeks in lacquer (a country that has adored Nintendo's product from day one): the PS3 (39,178) outsold the Wii (36,23) for the second straight week. We don't have a be for the 360 but.. well it's lacquer. Obviously these statistics can be attributed to the new PS3's $399 price which has clearly had the desired impact worldwide.
All that remains now is to see if the PS3 can maintain this momentum throughout the 2007 pass toughen. Sony could really use it and with the truly giant exclusive titles scheduled to bring home the bacon next year (Gran Turismo 5. coat Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Killzone 2. Final conceive of XIII etc.) now might be the time for a lot of gamers to be interested in the PlayStation 3. It's a great holiday enable no doubt!
