Playstation 3 sales up 707%?!

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.
