PS3 Sales Up 113%!

This isn’t surprising stuff, but it’s good news anyway. Sales of Sony’s Playstation 3 jumped up to a whopping 113% from last month’s numbers! See what a price drop can do for you? Also, the newer model is now available: “the new 80gb model of the PS3, packed with the off-road racing game MotorStorm, is now available in retail stores in the United States and Canada for $599/659 CDN.”

The same press release tells us that the 60gb model is being snatched up from North American stores after receiving a $100 price drop on July 9th. The system is showing a 113% sales increase from last month’s numbers at the top five North American brick-and-mortar retailers. Sony predicts that the remaining stock of 60gb models will be depleted by the end of this fall, so you had better get out there if you want to play upcoming titles like Heavenly Sword, Lair, SingStar, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and many more.

So, you’d better get the 60gb model before it runs out. Consider it a future investment. There’s bound to be a system-selling game at some point in the PS3′s life, so don’t sit there waiting for it to happen because it will. See? I’m feeling a little optimistic myself.
