Japanese PS3 sales figures for the month of April just released show the PS3 to have enjoyed a drastic increase in sales over this time last year.
The console’s sales reached 109,000 units for April, an increase of 288% over the same month last year.
Some of the increase is thought to have come from the release of the FF13 demo, packaged with a special edition of the console, but this seems unlikely this could have contributed a great deal.
The statistics were reported by Enterbrain.
The PS3 appears to have been a slow starter in Japan, but now is picking up speed and rapidly destroying the Xbox 360’s now slim chances of entrenchment. How this struggle will play out on a global scale will be of great interest to all…
Well Truthfully the PS3 in America. Isn’t going so well dew to the freaking economy. I mean the Xbox 360 and N-Wii are doing a fantastic job because there sales aren’t that bad at pricing the console at the time. The PS3 hasn’t been all that since it has arrived. People have been excited about it coming out. But it ended up that nobody would come to seeing the PS3 all through. 🙁 it’s actually sad…
