Sales of Sony's PlayStation 3 console have been given a boost in North America since they cut the price of the console and introduced a cheaper version at the beginning of November.

The company said Thursday that combined sales of the older 80 GB model and the new 40 GB model have increased by 192 percent at the top-10 major retailers in North America and have "more than doubled" overall. After seeing poor sales all year, the company cut the price of the 80 GB model from US$599 to US$499, and introduced a cheaper US$399 version on Nov. 2, with a lower capacity hard-disk drive. In addition to the smaller drive, the cheaper version lacks the ability to play PlayStation 2 titles.

Are you hoping for a game console this Christmas?
