Actually the opposite number of 666 is -666Catkid906 said:
OT: I wonder what the number of total units sold is compared to the others, and how long they would have to keep this up to match the Wii.
PS3 up 999%

I'm not surprised nor am I impressed by this.
In America, the Cash for Clunkers program that gave tremendous rebates from the government (on taxpayer money) to people who traded in their old cars for new cars caused something of like a 600+% spike in autosales in the month of August.
Sony cuts their console's price down to the same amount as it's competitors, along with releasing something new (the PS3 slim... and we all know there are folks out there who just GOT to buy the newest thing on the first day, for instance the DSi) and so it's only logical that Sony sold a considerably larger amount, of course while taking a loss on every single one being sold.
if you sold 200 hamburgers in a month then you cut your price from $5 to $2 taking a $3 loss but making your burgers as cheap as your next competitor, and then sold 1,998 hamburgers the next month, thats a 999% increase in sales.
So ultimately, it'll be more interesting to see the next few weeks in sales.
Also this was only reported in the UK... not North American sales, from what I understand.

This would be an impressive sales increase if it actually sold all that much in the first place. It's not like it's a 999% increase on the DS or Wii, which would be ridiculous amounts of consoles.
It is both larger and heavier than the original Xbox. The PS3 is the bulkiest and heaviest console to date, if I recall. It IS a selling point, though not always a major one.apsham said:
Frankly, I prefer the original PS3 to the Slim.
