PlayStation 3 tops 3 million UK sales News
Today 16:41

The PlayStation 3 has now sold over 3 million units here in the UK.

That means there's been a significant leap of 800,000 units since July 2009, when the console had reached 2.2 million sales.

But there's still catching up to do, as early last December the Wii had sold six million units in the UK and, as of last July, the Xbox 360 had sold 3.9 million units.

Worldwide sales of the PlayStation 3 are now at 27 million, according to Sony's business-time website.

Microsoft said at CES earlier this month that the Xbox 360 has passed 39 million sales worldwide, while the Wii has sold over 56 million units globally.

Eurogamer is referring to these numbers: http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdataps3_sale_e.html

Sony has not updated the data in Q3 (until December 31, 2009).

they cut it by £50.... thats $82

LMAO! I remember at the time of the price cut you were saying it wouldn't make much difference because shops were already selling the PS3 below the RRP, so it was hardly a price cut at all. Now you are trying to make the price cut sound as big as possible by converting it into dollars...

yeah that why he said 1 and a half years... ???  but I refer you to my earlier answer... so what?

 

your post kinda makes no sense what so ever either, kinda microsoft sold more console than sony because sony wasn't selling theirs yet,

but then now sony passed microsoft total europe even with the year and half head start.

UK price cut was one of the smallest, even was not felt by the population, in the end retailers sold it for the same.

I wasn't commenting on the sales of either console, just on your change of position as to how much the PS3 price cut was.  

And my arse did literally fall off reading your post. I should really get it checked out.
