PS3 Price Cut Leads to 400 Percent Sales Jump on Amazon

Gamepro: It looks like Sony's $50 price cut for the 160GB PlayStation is going to see a spike in console sales for the company, as plenty of holdouts seem to rapidly be picking up the system at the cheaper $249.99 tag.

It's not that hard to read.

400%.

firemassacre4789d ago (Edited 4789d ago )

400 percent

good job

A+

darthv724789d ago

Is this one of those feel good type of stories? Because realistically this is to be expected. You lower the price and sales increase.

MrAwesome4789d ago

With an UC3 bundle this year might just be better than 2009 was for it critically and comercially.

buddymagoo4789d ago

So excited for Uncharted 3!

MAJ0R4789d ago

I wasn't so excited after playing the beta but after I saw the gamescom demo I was really hyped, they improved a lot of things since then

Anon19744789d ago

Ugh. I said it when Kinect bundles were on the charts, I'll say it with PS3 on the charts. Meaningless.

All Amazon charts show is a snapshot of one region at a particular moment in time. It doesn't prove trends or buyer inclination or anything of the sort. For this data to be meaningful in any way it would have to be over a period of days, weeks or even months. It's about as useful as me sitting inside a FutureShop for an hour and then writing an article saying "Derp! Wii sales skyrocketing!" because someone bought 3 Wii's while I was there.

gamingdroid4789d ago (Edited 4789d ago )

I have never seen (or remember) any console quadruple their sales in on month, let alone sustain it.

That said, the chart shows Tomb Raider spiked 1200% wow! Then you got Kinect exclusive Rise of Nightmare spiked 300% even moar woav!

To top it off, on the bestseller list Xbox 360 4GB is listed at number 5 next to PS3 at number 3. WOAV!

Somebody quickly write an article (complete with bad grammar and spelling) and share it here on the n4g community! NAOW!

Tough to beat games that are giving you $20 credit.

LOGICWINS4789d ago

Why are you getting disagrees for posting factual evidence?

fluffydelusions4789d ago (Edited 4789d ago )

It's n4g lol

LNDCalling4789d ago

Think you missed the '260' bit but I didn't disagree I LOL'd.. :D

LOGICWINS4789d ago

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5224d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905224d ago (Edited 5224d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5224d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5224d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495224d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5224d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5224d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
