Things are looking good for Sony. Very good. Just last week, they dropped the price of their popular console to $499, and sales proceeded to skyrocket. This is reassuring for all current PS3 owners, but I am sure like most others, I am still waiting to find a killer app. Sadly, that doesn’t look to happen until next year. In all seriousness though, things are looking up for the PS3, and it might not be too long before it’s direct competition with the Xbox 360.
PlayStation fans: feel free to throw up your arms in unanimous rejoicing. Today, Sony Computer Entertainment America announced in a press release that PS3 sales have increased by more than 135% at the company’s top five retailers. It looks like the price drop to $499 was an extremely wise decision.
