PlayStation 3 Bundles Become Holiday’s Hottest Seller
This week has been a great week for gamers and entertainment fans alike with the unbelievable deals of hardware, games and accessories. Only yesterday it was revealed that BestBuy, GameStop and other large retailers were going to provide the PlayStation 3 Slim 120GB model with 2 games or more for the standard price of $299. As expected, sales of the exclusive Black Friday bundles have been staggering as consumers across the country rush to get their hands on Sony’s next-generation platform.
The exclusive PlayStation 3 Black Friday bundles have officially sold out nationwide. Amazon, BestBuy, GameStop and Walmart are all reporting a total sellout both online and in-store as well. It only took roughly 8 hours for the bundles to sell out, and while a few remote retailers might still have a few bundles available, the future looks grim for anyone who is interested in picking up a bundle and hasn’t already.
Sony’s PlayStation 3 console has managed to sell record numbers worldwide since the official Slim announcement back in August this year. With the PlayStation 3 Slim once again on the top of the hot seller list of Amazon.com, this holiday season is already looking to be an outstanding success for Sony.

That’s insanely awesome. Sony’s marketing has finally payed off and seems to continue doing so.

Now when they make a glorified Scale/Game add-on and add motion controls then the PS3 will be revitilized AGAIN!
They just have to wait until people stop buying it en mass. So Sony do the smart thing and pull a NIntendo but DO NOT abandon the hardcore.
Nintendo learned how to make a money printing console. But they abandoned those of us who got them that far by stealing away the very things that made them great.

I say stop using the term “next-generation”. It is a current generation console. “Next gen” only applies before a generation begins.

Good for them. Next year will be even better.

I got to my local Walmart at 12:30 AM to wait in line for the PS3 bundle. I was the first one there for it and they had about ten on them. They sold out of the PS3 bundles while there were only three people there for the 360 bundle. Can’t wait for the NPD data.
