Contrary to popular belief, Sony’s Playstation 3 is producing great sales numbers. PAL regions (Europe) just hit the 1 million mark, which I have to admit is quite impressive given the price of the machine. By comparison, there have been 1.4 million units sold in US/Canada since launch.
Games attributed to the consoles success overseas include Resistance: Fall of Man and MotorStorm, selling 600K and 500K copies respectively. I am a proud PS3 owner, but I will be the first to admit that the games are lacking right now. There are quite a few on the horizon though, so sales for Sony might pick up even further.
Across PAL territories the PlayStation 3 has now sold more than a cool one million units since its March 23 launch–just ten weeks ago. This makes the console faster-selling than either of Sony’s previous living room machines, the original PlayStation or the PS2.
