PAL PS3 Sells 1 Million
Sony has spoken exclusively to MCV this week about its robust PlayStation 3 launch offering an official sales update and a unique insight into its software strategy for Q4.
The console was launched on March 23rd and has sailed past the one million milestone in Europe and other PAL territories in under ten weeks.
David Reeves, SCEE president, chose MCV to stress that the figure is for sell-through rather than sell-in and hugely impressive in a historical context. Early last week we went through the one million mark on PS3. And we did that in nine and a half weeks, he confirmed.
That was faster than both PS2 and PSOne. And I think that the analysts out there will also realise that its faster than our brothers and sisters in the competitive world.
In terms of software sales, Reeves claimed that around two million units of first party software have been sold into the channel, with Resistance: Fall of Man notching up around 600,000 units and Motorstorm edging past the 500,000 mark.
