PS3 Hits 10.5 Million Sold

An Associated Press business article, dedicated mostly to the impending conclusion of that stupid, distracting "format war", has buried in its conclusion some PS3 sales figures. According to the piece, Sony have now sold 10.5 million PS3 consoles since launch. Which is good news for them, as it puts them squarely on track to meet their goal of selling 11 million by the end of March, a target they set themselves last December. Oh, before you go, those who like to dabble in the odd bit of conjecture and speculation should note that it's been Sony policy for a while now to count "sold" as sold, not shipped.

Man the ps3 has skyrocketed in the last couple months. I know several people that have it now. Before there was like 2 or 3 people that had one.

wooh! and it's only going to get better with the mass of games coming out in 08 can't wait :D

LMFAO

PS3 was destined to fail? lmfao...I think not.

But why did Sony change their target to 9 million just before christmas? Was it just to make it sound like it's selling better than they expected?

Good to see though, and as has been said, it'll only get better now HD DVD is finished and all the games due out this year.

So these are sold numbers, not shipped, correct? megadeth78

Well, the last line of TC's post does say that Sony only reports "sold" and not "shipped." So yeah, it looks like they have sold 10.5 million, which is awesome.

That price drop was huge, I know so many people that were waiting for that specifically and now alot of my friends have ps3s down here at THE Ohio State University

the ps3 has sold more in it's first (however long) than the 360 did in its first (however long)

of course, neither can match the wii's ungodly sales figures.

Finally most of my cousins keep saying sell ur ps3 the xbox 360 is better but now i can say then why is ps3 selling more? thanks for the info:D 23_jordan

I'm one of 'those' that went for the $399 version and honestly Sony did a great move with it.

I do not store any media nor play old games so fits perfect and it didn't hurt my wallet too much :)

Great news

Hmm they should make a fast food FPS the earl vs ronald ve jack in the crack vs kernel sanders it would be the best game ever. Imagine blasting ronald with an AK, instead of blood his head will explode into mcnuggets.morongbethename

Direct quote from somone who bought a 360 when I told him I bought a PS3; "Oh, im sorry; sorry you bought the Dreamcast."

I can literally laugh in his face now, hard evidence that he needs to stop being a douche.

lol Sorry I had to bc i'm currently at Penn State...

Anyway I think this is extremely good news that suggests ps3 can beat sony's estimates and continue to grow. I remember thinking I was the only one with a ps3 and now more and more I randomly hear ppl start talking about theirs.
