SCEA is the latest Sony territory to report significant sales hike since launch of the PS3 Slim
Sales of the PS3 have climbed 300 per cent in North America since the launch of the PS3 Slim last week, according to SCEA.
Revenues weren’t up by quite so much, however, thanks to Sony’s $100 price drop for the console. In total, PS3 revenues jumped 140 per cent in the first week of September compared to the week before.
The hike follows the same trend seen in the likes of Japan, France and the UK – the latter of which saw an increase of 999 per cent.

But...
300% up on what? 300% of fuck-all is actually not very much.
300% - 999% etc....
To be fair "Weezer" is right.
300% sounds very impressive but, seeing as pretty much no-one bought a PS3 that week (unless they were idiots) means that an increase of 300% isn't as impressive as it sounds.
Not to take anthing away from the sales of the new console, as they have been very good, but figures like "300% & 999%" are very misleading, and can be misconstrued by people (mainly fanboys)
I think the most important statistic for last week was that the PS3 outsold the 360 3:1. (Not a massive margin for what is basically a brand new console from Sony)
But, it will be interesting to see the sales figures for the forthcoming weeks.
