Sony Says PS3 Continues to Gain Momentum

The recent release of the PS3 Slim has placed Sony in a good position for the holiday season. This according to Sony execs who say third party interest has never been higher, even as other consoles loose steam.

“Just anecdotally, it’s been enormously positive,” Sony Computer Entertainment president and CEO Andrew House says regarding feedback received since the release of the PS3 Slim. “People have been telling us we’ve reached the price point they were hoping for, and as a result we’ve got the wind in our sales – that the market really is there for the PS3 to command.”

House says besides the slash in price, Nintendo’s lack of first party support will only help Sony regain its foothold this Christmas.

“From data that we’re starting to see, in some of the publicly-released figures, we’re seeing a significant year-on-year downturn for the Wii. I think that’s just a factor of this Holiday season.”

Did the price drop convince yo uit was time to pick up a PS3?
