silentassassin Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Sony has revealed that the Playstation 3 has sold more than 440,000 units during the Thankgiving week with the PSP also seeing a significant sales increase. According to Patrick Seybold, SCEA’s Sr. Director of Corporate Communications and Social Media: The 2009 holiday season got off to an amazing start for PlayStation, with all key retailers showing a significant increase for PS3, PSP and key holiday titles over Black Friday and the holiday weekend. PlayStation 3 demand was at an all time high with the system selling more than 440,000 units for the week ending 11/29/09. In today’s economy, consumers are drawn to items that offer the most value for their money, making the PS3 an ideal choice for those who want a comprehensive gaming and entertainment system all in one package. Combine that with exclusive holiday bundles and an extensive software line-up, one that many analysts are calling the best in the industry, with titles such as Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, UNCHARTED 2:Among Thieves, and LittleBigPlanet: Game of the Year, we have no doubt the momentum and demand will continue and consumers will prove that entertainment this holiday season is going to be defined by PlayStation. http://www.qj.net/Sony-sells-440-000-PS3-u...g/49/aid/136283 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
