The PS3 slim hasn’t been out for long, but reports already indicate a very high increase in sales.

In the UK, the Slim outsold other platforms 3 to 1, a 999% jump in week-to-week sales.  Famitsu is also reporting that the Slim sold 150k in its first week in Japan.

This is definitely great news for Sony, but the question remains whether the price cut and redesign will produce a permanent or just a temporary boost.
