The Playstation 3 Slim is officially a hit. The numbers have come in and Sony’s latest release has sold over 1 million units worldwide since it’s September 1st release. This has thrown Sony right back in the console wars, which many were declaring over after Nintendo started selling their Wiis like hot cakes and the Xbox 360 was just chugging along.

The sales figures of the PS3 Slim also show that people didn’t hate the PS3 but wanted a cheaper offering from Sony. If this was the original price of the device, even for the fat one, they would have sold millions more, but selling them for over $500 was too much for consumers to pay. I would know, I waited about a year before finally splurging on the fat version.

Don’t I feel like an idiot for paying over $400 for my fat Playstation 3, that I’ve had for over 2 years now. I really want a PS3 Slim now. Can Sony do the same with their PSP Go, and bring themselves back into the mix? Hopefully so.

That’s great, even in the recession.
