KnackChap Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=33064 Sony has confirmed to GamesIndustry.biz that the PlayStation 3 has sold over one million units in the UK. The console was released in the UK on March 23 last year, meaning it has reached the milestone quicker than the PlayStation 2, which took 50 weeks to sell one million units. Sony announced back in June 2007 that sales had hit the one million mark across the whole of Europe in just nine and a half weeks. With sales of the most expensive home console reaching important milestones for Sony, publishers are becoming more confident in the format. Last week, Electronic Arts stated that it expects the PS3 to outsell the Xbox 360 this year, clocking up between 5 and 6 million units in Europe and up to another 5.5 million units in North America. Nintendo's Wii reached the one million mark in the UK within 38 weeks on sale, making it the fastest-selling home console in the region. Microsoft's Xbox 360 sold one million units within 60 weeks. ___________________________________________________________________________ 45 weeks to do a million comapred to the 38 for wii, 50 for ps2 and 60 for 360- impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
