PS3 hits weekly sales record in Japan

According to Enterbrain's weekly sales data, Japanese consumers purchased 152,530 PlayStation 3 units last week, which represents a 7,350 percent increase from about 2,000 units the previous week. This is the highest number of PS3 systems sold in a single week in Japan, ever. Its launch week (which was, admittedly, two days long) garnered totals of 88,000 units.

We can't imagine what happened last week to spur such sudden interest. Oh, right — Play Face. The inspiring Play Face ad campaign is the only reasonable explanation for this sales boost.
