Nintendo Beats SCE in Worldwide Console Sales Growth

(Nintendo)

 

January 15, 2004

 

Nintendo has beaten Sony Computer Entertainment for sales growth this past winter.  Quoting an increase of 70% in December largely due to significant reduction in price to the Gamecube in all three major regions (North America, Japan, and Europe).

 

Conversely, Sony saw an increase in sales of about 18% in Japan between Oct. 27 and Jan. 4 after price cuts as well as improvements in the European market.  However, performance in North America took a hit with only 2.94 million PS2s sold in November and December, a 27% decrease over the previous year.  Because of this, the PS2's worldwide sales are down 8% over November and December of last year.
