No wonder they looked so happy at PAX 2009.
With Sony’s new PS3 Slim + price cut, they’ve seen a 1,000% increase in sales so far.

According to gameindustry.biz, they have found that the uplift from week 36 on week 35 is plus 999%. Sony had a similar experience in sales increase with the PS2 Slim (week 44 for PS2) announcement, though it stopped at 310%.

Some people thought it was too late for Sony to be back in the race, but things look a bit different now.
