Playstation Sales Hit The Roof Over Thanksgiving Weekend
The Playstation 3 Was A Big Winner This Thanksgiving.
SCEA comms boss Patrick Seybold has confirmed through-the-roof sales for the Playstation 3 in America over thanksgiving weekend. The Playstation 3 mustered a whopping 440,000 sales for the week ending November 29th.
“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,” the exec stated in an emailed statement.
“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.”
Seybold went on to state that the Playstation products will define this holiday season.
“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,” he wrote.
“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.”
The Wii managed to beat out the Playstation 3 for the week, but it’s widely believed Sony were a full head and shoulders ahead of Microsoft.
