Sales of Sony's PlayStation 3 have skyrocketed by 104% in America between August 23 and August 29 -- the Slim's launch week. The 7 days prior to the Slim's release Sony moved 37,167 units, and upon its arrival that number more than doubled to 75,931.
VGChartz notes that because the PlayStation 3 Slim was unavailable at many retailers during its debut week, high sales may continue in the immediate future. They have also reported that some major outlets like GameStop, Best Buy, Gamecrazy, and Amazon experienced a 200% leap in PlayStation 3 sales, while Walmart and Target saw a 50% increase.
