Sony Confirms 600k PS3s Sold

Sony has sold more than 600,000 of the 1 million PlayStation 3s made available in Europe last Friday, the company confirmed this afternoon.

"Yes, 600,000 is the figure for Europe," a spokesperson told Eurogamer, after the BBC reported the number yesterday without comment.

Sony has already claimed a UK record for the fastest-selling home console in history, having sold an estimated 165,000 units in the UK in its first two days on sale.

That compares very favourably to the 105,000 units Nintendo Wii sold in its first weekend and the 70,000 Xbox 360s Microsoft managed, although both companies struggled to meet demand whereas Sony, having positioned the European launch away from its American and Japanese counterparts, was able to prepare supply in advance.

The idea, Sony said ahead of launch, was to make sure it was possible for people to go into a shop on the day of launch and actually buy one. A quick survey of the crap video shop down the road revealed this is possible, but if you actually want to buy it they have to send Dave up to the stock room.

If you go by that logic, than the 360 has only penetrated 50% of its predecesor's fanbase...

Considering the short amount of time it has been out, price, lack of killer-apps and bad press, I'd say that is a great achievement. I mean, it broke records. It sold alot more than the 360 did at this time last year, and it was a worldwide launch.

I can't really say that is true. He wouldn't have a pic dedicated to his erm.... intelligence *doesn't post it*

cows used to post silly pics simply becuase they ran out of facts to use...

it was funny watching them sink to such depths that they would have to search the 'net when outclased by the facts...:)

After debating with him several times, I don't think that was the case. :P

600k sold to retailers, with them reporting less than 60% sold.

otherwise, there is NO way for anyone to have accurate sell through this early...

sorry, hated to dash your dream....;)

You make no sense.

Sony shipped 1 million all over Europe to retailers. How do you then get this "600k sold to retailers" shtick, when the retailers have 1 million spread between them all?

You're far too aggressive for such a subject. Chill down, it's not that serious.

for what? pointing out facts?

maybe you're just a bit hypersensitive about the ps3's poor sales...

i would be too, if i were you...:(

sony ships to distributors.

if you think retailers are warehouses, with square footage at a premium, you don't know much about retail...;)

They shipped 1 million to europe and sold 600k of that to concumers. It's funny how you are trying to spin this as a bad thing.

don't blame me.. it was sony bragging about their userbase as well as the cows...

yet, 99% of their userbase has apparently turned their backs on sony...

i'd wait until sony officially reports numbers before i'd get excited, if i were you.

they have a history of lying...;)

 

tango90101

How has the user base turned its back on sony? Most people bought ps2s after price drops. You expect everyone who bought a ps2 to go out and buy a ps3 on launch day? Sorry it doesn't work that way buddy. Your logic fails on so many levels.

i believe there were only 300k 360s available for launch.CaseyWegner

Please try to understand that out of that 100% only a few will buy the system right away. The rest is saving some money, waiting for more games to come out, waiting for a price cut, etc. it's not that they turned their backs on sony.

sorry, but that's not what sony was saying nor the cows....

tell them...

so far sony has penetrated 1% of its own market.  when it changes, we can revisit the issue, but now it stands...

ps3 = flop
