Sony is happy…for One million reasons!

It seems the new Slim PS3 game console is quite a hit and Sony is happy about it.

Japan’s Sony said Thursday that global retail sales of its latest, cut-price model of the PlayStation 3 videogame console had hit one million in the three weeks since its launch.

The new PS3 was went on sale on September 1 in North America, Europe and in Asia, except for Japan where it debuted in stores two days later.

The model is priced at 29,980 yen (330 dollars) in Japan, 10,000 yen less than its earlier version. The recommended retail price is 299 dollars in North America and 299 euros (440 dollars) in Europe, Sony says.

The new version, like its predecessors, allows users to play games and movies on Blu-ray discs, but is slimmer and uses less power.

“The console packs cutting-edge technologies, including the (pre-installed) 120 gigabyte hard-disk drive and Blu-ray capability, at a lower price,” said Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. spokeswoman Makiko Noda.

Good to see They are doing well, but personally, I will wait a little bit longer to buy it…There are $299.00 reasons to wait.
