The firm reached the milestone as a new-look 500GB PS3 hit the market on September 28th, causing a 138 per cent jump in sales that week. A 12GB SKU is out today (October 12th).
And the firm’s UK MD Fergal Gara told MCV that the momentum is behind PS3, buoyed by strong showings at Gamescom and E3, plus the formation of a new UK team.
“It is fantastic that we passed the 5m mark,” Gara told MCV. “But most importantly to me is not the milestone itself, but the fact that there is momentum behind it. And with the new chassis, and the way the market is panning out this year, PlayStation definitely has the momentum.”
“I can already feel a positive buzz that wasn’t there only a few weeks ago.”
