Forums - Sony Discussion - Playstation 3 hits 6 million units sold!

Well, the Playstation 3 has finally hit 6 million units sold! Surprisingly, the gap between it, and the Xbox 360, is closing in, but the Wii is still outselling the competition, by far. The Playstation 3 now holds up 18% of the console market place. It wasn't too long ago when it varied from 16.9%-17.2%.

So....the 360 is about to hit 14 million in a couple of weeks.

Congrats to the PS3! I guess.....



I'd have to agree with Soriku's sentiments.

The PS3 was stuck in the 5 million zone for a loooooooooong time.



By life end:

  • Wii- 100 million+
  • Xbox360- 35~40 million
  • PS3- 30 million
  • PSP- 30~32 million ------------- FAILURE
  • NDS- 85~90 million (Skeptical)  - FAILURE
  • NDS- 100 million+ (Optimistic) -- Success!

Hooray for the PS3.  6 million happy customers and counting.



5 bucks says the PS3 hits 7 million before the 360 hits 14.

My prediction of 8 million is looking better and better.

Soriku you keep re-adjusting your PS3 numbers. I made my prediction near the same time you did. (look at sig)

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Check out MyAnimeList and my Game Collection. Owner of the 5 millionth post.

We sorta celebrated this last week, and already then agreed it isn't a number worth celebrating. I mean 5 and 10 and 15 are cool, but 6 isn't that interesting. Kinda like your 19th birthday. =P



Don't know if it can go all the way up to 8 mil byt then end of the year but still a great achievement



Digg that puppy up!!

I'd gladly take that bet (going from current VGC numbers). I doubt you did the maths on that one ;)
