[TGS] Ya se han vendido más de un millón de PS3 Slim en todo el mundo

La nueva PlayStation 3 sólo hace tres semanas que está en el mercado.

No cabe la más mínima duda que PlayStation 3 está recortando distancias con sus competidoras en cuanto número de consolas vendidas. Un claro ejemplo de esta recuperación, es que esta pasada madrugada, durante la conferencia de Sony en el TGS 2009, Haz Hirai desvelaba que ya se han vendido más de un millón de unidades de PS3 Slim.

Lo más sorprendente de estos datos es que sólo se han conseguido en tres semanas, ya que la nueva PS3 Slim de 120 GB está al mercado desde el pasado día 1 de septiembre. El hecho de la reducción de precio a 299 euros, ha hecho que los consumidores se decanten en favor de la consola de Sony.

New PlayStation(R)3 Retail Sales Achieve 1 Million Units in 3 Weeks Worldwide

TOKYO, Sept. 23 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. today announced that retail sales of its new PlayStation®3 (PS3®) (CECH-2000A) computer entertainment system achieved a total of 1 million units(*1) worldwide in the 3 weeks since its launch on September 1, 2009(*2). The expansion of the PS3 platform is being accelerated along with the introduction of more and more new and exciting software titles as well as the enhancement of PlayStation®Network.

While maintaining cutting-edge features and functions, such as the ability to enjoy high quality interactive entertainment content including Blu-ray Disc™ games and movies as well as various content and services downloadable through PlayStation Network, the new PS3 is available at a highly attractive recommended retail price of 29,980 yen (including tax), US$299 and euro 299, with an extremely streamlined form factor and a pre-installed 120GB Hard Disk Drive.

Along with the vast line-up of attractive and exciting entertainment content to be released this holiday season from third-party game developers and publishers as well as from SCE Worldwide Studios, SCE will continue to further expand the PS3 platform and create a new world of computer entertainment.
