PS3 sales hit all-time low
VideoGaming247 showed us the sales chart of the japanese market of last week and it looked pretty bad for the PS3.
It’s been out sold by the Xbox 360 for the 4th week running. There is some good news for the Sony camp though. The PSP has sold almost 20000 units more then it’s big brother and 360. Even the PS2 managed to outsell them by a few hundred.
- DS – 42,385
- PSP – 26,045
- Wii – 25,330
- PS2 – 8,618
- Xbox 360 – 8,271
- PS3 – 7,232
What does this mean for the PS3? Will they be forced to lower to price to bring back the sale numbers or are people just waiting and saving their money for this busy game release period and the upcoming new SKU.
MCVUK says it might be the price. Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst Jesse Divnich said to Edge Online
The $399 price point is simply too steep to entice the casual and mainstream markets, regardless of how great Resistance 2 and LittleBigPlanet may be.

I’m sure the PS3 will rocket again once FF13 (exclusive on PS3 in Japan) comes out.
