I just noticed...PS3 is currently at 23.43 million WW. Data thus far suggests PS3 sold a whopping 600k (or so) this past week. Taking the high end, this means PS3 hit 24 million!

This is a huge milestone, as it puts PS3 at approximately the same lifetime sales as the original Xbox!

PS3 is the dreamcast gamecube xbox ? of this gen now!

So, what are we comparing it to next?

Lol @ the last part.

I laugh at the kids that were predicting like 150k-200k.

Well, I guess this is the pre pre congrats thread prior to the 1500 threads that will be made about the OP after it actually happens.

Anyway.....Congrats to Sony.

Took them long enough. Anyway, congratulations Sony. And here's to millions more. Hopefully, my purchase will be one.

Long enough? PS3 is the 3rd fastest selling home console in history, behind PS2 and Wii.

It also reached 24 Million faster than the Xbox 360.

Edit: AND id like to add, while achieving the above, it has done it being the most expensive console on the market by far.

Even if Sony doesn't recoup their losses, do you guys think they can reach a sales point where there losses were acceptable because of the whole blu-ray scenario (in which they were successful). I think reaching like the mid 50 millions would be a great accomplishment considering the path they took this gen. (even though I'm hoping for 250 million, lol)

^Took who long enough? So far as I can tell (from VGC data) PS3 is/will be the all time third fastest console to reach 24 million, behind Wii and PS2. Seems like a pretty good feat for a console which has been declared dead and will cause the ultimate downfall of Sony as a viable company on a regular basis.

Edit: What Carl said.

@ NYANKS: I don't think the losses will ever be regarded as acceptable, in that this is a strategy Sony are unlikely to ever repeat to the extent that they have with the PS3. They might make another expensive console, but not sell it at a loss. Or they might sell a loss making console, but at a price that is much closer to the competition, and for a much lower per unit loss.

I think MS should buckle up tighter for the rough road ahead and do something soon, this Christmas Sony will be leading in sales...

I'm getting one soon cuz the Ps3 is picking up and and things are looking great for them..

Sorry Microsoft but I had to do it..
