UK Playstation 3 sales rose by 73 percent over the easter period according to ChartTrack data. Software sales also increased during easter as children alike took high advantage of the easter period to purchase games and new consoles.

MCV, ChartTrack’s Dorian Bloch commented:

“PS3 and Xbox 360 are pretty much neck and neck at the moment, with PS3 slightly ahead. Software was up, and the formats that Rainbow Six Vegas 2 appeared on did especially well.”

Dorian Bloch went on to say:

“Some schools are on holiday so next week will be similar, as there are a lot of product slated for March 28th. We’ve seen bumper sales this week and we can expect the same for next week,”

We will have to see how much impact Gran Turismo 5 Prologue made to the sales of the PS3 and software sales next week.
