PS3 Slim sells over 600K worldwide in first week
September 8th, 2009 TimmySDF
In Europe, some regions saw as much as a tenfold increase in PS3 sales (admittedly, sales had been low the previous week as consumers anticipated the new model launch) – around 250,000 units were sold in “other regions” (Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia etc) according to our preliminary data. In Japan, reports have already been independently confirmed from Famitsu magazine of over 150,000 units sold – twice as much as the previous best week for PS3. Sales in Americas also saw a large increase, over 125,000 units according to preliminary data (although this could be higher as more info comes in).
Stay tuned for more data as it comes in… and please note that this data is still preliminary at this stage. We can say with a fair amount of certainty that between 500,000 and 600,000 units were sold but will not know the exact figure until all of the finalised data is in.
Update – we have already upgraded the figure to 500-600k as all pointers now suggest the figure to be comfortably over half a million.

Xbox fans doubted a revolution was coming. Xbox fans doubted the existence of the new PS3.
This time, it truly begins.
