Kowenicki screaming that the PS3 is overtracked despite not knowing EXACTLY what regions count as PAL, what regions Vgchartz counts as PAL, what this weeks sales on Vgchartz are yet and how far over 30 million the PS3 is when all the press release states is the PS3 has passed the 30 million mark. Hahaha brilliant, *facepalm*.

"Sony has announced that total PS3 console sales in PAL territories have passed the 30 million unit mark as of December 17th."
They are talking about sales in PAL regions. If not they would have said sales in Europe and PAL (they only mention that when they talk about the popularity of the console).
France is not a PAL territory, France accounts for ~4.4 M consoles.
Well i dont knwo what regions are "PAL" but i guess its a great number, would be better if it was Europe Alone.
Still 30m is insane.
How much is 360 on PAL ?
pfffff....

Press release actually does state that the 30M is across PAL and Europe.
PLAYSTATION®3 SALES REACH 30 MILLION UNITS ACROSS EUROPE AND THE PAL TERRITORIES
London, 19th December 2012 – Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that the cumulative sales of the PlayStation®3 (PS3®) computer entertainment system reached a milestone of 30 million units across Europe and the PAL territories as of 17th December 2012, demonstrating the continued popularity and momentum of the PS3® platform.
“This is a major milestone for us and clearly shows just how popular the PlayStation brand and products are within Europe and the PAL territories”, said Jim Ryan, President and CEO of SCEE. “We are really pleased with the success of the PS3 system over the last six years, and are committed to continuing our support of the platform with high quality products and titles that are of the caliber that PlayStation fans have come to expect.”
PS3® has delivered high quality, award-winning entertainment experiences since its launch. Throughout its lifecycle, PS3® has evolved to become a real cornerstone of the family living room delivering classic titles like LittleBigPlanet™ and Gran Turismo™ to the recently launched Wonderbook™: Book of Spells. The state of the art system has become the entertainment hub of many homes allowing families to play together and also enjoy a great range of movies, TV series and music directly from their system.
Following the introduction of PS3 in March 2007 across its territories, SCEE has also launched a plethora of services and products to accompany the system. This includes the free to access PlayStation®Network, PlayStation®Plus, which offers well over €1000 of value for only €49.99 a year, PlayStation®Move motion controller and the recently launched new peripheral Wonderbook™.
In September 2012, SCEE launched a new PS3, featuring a new design and a downsized form factor. In October 2012, SCEE redesigned PlayStation®Store for PS3®, offering a more streamlined and accessible store experience, including a stunning new user interface, simple search, and powerful content discovery.
SCEE will continue to further expand the PS3® platform and create a world of computer entertainment that is only possible on PlayStation.
