Sony announces 4 million PS3 sales milestone in the UK

Sony has announced that PS3 has moved 4 million units in the UK since its March 23, 2007 release.

In celebration, Sony is holding an invitation-only event tonight in London, which will include all sorts of festivities and a Hot Chip DJ session.

Keza MacDonald is attending the event this evening for VG247, and hopefully she has dressed well, as “smart attire is expected.”

so it needed like 46 months to there...do somebody know how much months the PS2 needed?

less i believe because the PS2 had little competition 

yeah and a marketable price ^^

anyone know how long it took the 360?

also congrats ps3

It took 45 months for the Xbox 360 to hit 3.85 million in the UK according to VGC.

This announcement, by Sony,  was made as VGC numbers for PS3 hit 3.85 million in the UK.

so vgc numbers seem almost spot on unless this announcement refers to sales up to a previous date. Good job sony. 

well someone above said it took 46 months for the ps3 to do it, i thought the uk was 360's land.

No, it just launched ~1 1/2 yrs before the PS3.  For the PS3 to reach the same 4 mil goal in basically the same amount of time as the 360, even with its high initial price and poor launch, is pretty incredible.  It also shows that more recent sales must have been enough to overcome earlier lifetime sales.

Thats what i was getting at. I remember reading in another thread people we saying that there is no way the ps3 could catch the 360 in the uk it was there land but it appears the ps3 it doing just fine there.

Again great job ps3
