http://www.techday.co.nz/gameconsole/news/playstation-3-over-50m-sold/19895/2/

Sony Computer Entertainment has announced that the cumulative global sales of the PlayStation 3 has exceeded 50 million units as of March 29th this year. The company's also chalked up PlayStation Move sales in excess of 8 million units worldwide as of April 3rd. Sony has not specified the source of the sales data in the press release sent to Game Console.

The PlayStation 3 first launched in November 2006, with PlayStation Move launching locally in September last year.

The gap between the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 appears to be closing despite the headstart enjoyed by the Xbox 360, which launched worldwide a year earlier. VGChartz contentds that the Xbox 360 currently sits at 52.9 million units (28.1% of the market) compared to the PlayStation 3, which it places at 49.2 million units 26.1% of the market. They're both eclipsed, however, by the Nintendo Wii, which launched in .VGChartz currently places the Wii at 86.3 million units (45.8% of the global console market) despite launching at the same time as the PlayStation 3.

And also 480m games, yet VGC shows this:

I don't get how there are 100m units sitting on shelves... I know that there are always more games in stores than there are consoles, but come on 1.1/4m on shelves for consoles ans 100m for software? O_o

Lots of games are undertracked in Europe i think, like how the PS3s hardware was undertracked in Europe. so its probable theres lots of games in that region that are undertracked - the smaller regions anyway, the larger regions are well accounted for i think.

PSN games aren't counted in games shipped "to retailers".

There are lots of games without data in EMEAA. Not only PS3 games, but all consoles. It's a very hard to track region, heterogeneous, so it's natural to have gaps in the data.

Agree. I am in NZ and I doubt anyone has been tracking numbers here and probably the same for most other smaller EMEAA nations (tho these are of course bound to be small)
