Kotaku posted something today that really made me go “wow”. It seems due to the recent Sony price cut, sales of the Playstation 3 are on the rise…a massive rise, rise of 707% claims Enterbrain, publisher of Famitsu.

Kotaku posted “On September 3, the price of the PS3 was dropped by ¥10,000 to ¥29,980 (€217) from the previous price of ¥39,990. In that week, 150,832 units were sold. By October 11, Sony had seen a 707 percent increase in PS3 sales in Japan.”

The xbox 360 wasn’t as fortunate though, with sales down approxminately 70%. This seems to be attributed to the sensational news of  FFXIII for the Ps3, Playstation being the favoured of the consoles will benifit greatly, even though the 360 get FFXIII also.

I’m still not convinced….GOW 3 might want me to part with cash and thats it.

Done with the series? Whats your problem Joe??? Did you not see the E3 demo. Dont make me have to post it!!!!!

I just got a ps3 and also have a 360. I have known I really want Final Fantasy XIII for a while now and I was convinced I’d get it on 360 for achievements but now I’m looking at that shiny new ps3 I’m torn. I have fond memories of previous FF games and I think out of loyalty now I have to get it for ps3. Same goes for Tekken, but then I haven’t tried playing online with ps3 yet.. I didn’t hear the best things about dark resurrection online on ps3. Hopefully the online play can catch up with Xbox Live, that’s my only concern with the ps3 at the moment.
