Playstation 3 has sold nearly half a million units during Thanksgiving week, according to Sony's official data.
"The 2009 holiday season got off to an amazing start for PlayStation, with all key retailers showing a significant increase for PS3, PSP and key holiday titles over Black Friday and the holiday weekend," Sony's Sr. Corporate Communications director Patrick Seybold said in an official note.
Specifically, the Playstation 3 has sold 440,000 units in the U.S. for the week ending November 29th, just 60,000 units short of Wii in the same period.
"In today's economy, consumers are drawn to items that offer the most value for their money, making the PS3 an ideal choice for those who want a comprehensive gaming and entertainment system all in one package," Seybold concluded.
