Sony has sold almost four million units in the UK alone.

The platform holder expects to hit this sales milestone within the next few weeks, having seen strong hardware sales throughout the past year.

The PS3 passed the three million sales mark last January, meaning a healthy one million units have been sold in the past month.

Sony is in a strong position to drive hardware sales even further with a line-up of 20 eagerly awaited PS3 titles due to hit before the end of the year.

Throw in continued support for PlayStation Move and potential connectivity with the newly-announced Next Generation Portable, and the company could well be celebrating five million sales this time next year.

Congrats.

There was some news about 4m PS3 shipped in UK weeks ago... so it was matter of time to sell 4 million.

if it's 1m sold than 3.9m in end of 2010

and it's all undertracked(not including PS2)

So 4m today or very soon is almost right like article said.

Thanks by the chart.

congrats...but this is one of the two weak points for the PS3...they really should do something over there...

Not bad actually.  I tend to think of UK as being much more skewed to 360 but given PS3 is two holiday sales spikes behind it that's not a bad total really.  I guess it's also a sign how big the UK market is now it can support both HD consoles selling well plus the Wii.

360 sold more than PS3 in Europe according to that chart.

News to me.

That chart isn't all of Europe.

And it's for 2009.
