With Sony’s launch of the PlayStation 3 Slim, and the price cut, sales rocketed to over 150,000 last week in Japan. Those numbers are way down now as they settle again.
The week ending September 13th, PS3 sales hit 55K. The immediate boost from the launch is over, but sales will remain hopefully stable. Where was Xbox 360? Peddling 7,500.
Here are the Japanese numbers, courtesy of VG247:
DSi – 66,498
PS3 – 55,344
PSP – 18,375
Wii – 17,568
DS Lite – 11,179
Xbox 360 – 7,568
PS2 – 2,612
