These past few months have been pretty good to Sony and its PlayStation division. In comparison to this time last year, things are looking excellent indeed.
According to EEDAR (Electronic Entertainment Design And Research), sales for the PlayStation 3 are up a whopping 70 percent in October when compared to 2008. October also saw the most revenue generated by the PlayStation Store since its opening. Also notable is that there have been over 650 million pieces of downloaded content transferred via the Store to date. There are also now over 31 million registered PSN IDs. Impressive numbers indeed, and they are sure to increase even more when December rolls around.
