Sony PS3 sales pass 2m mark... two weeks late
,----[ Related ]
| Last week, Sony said it had shipped 1m PS3s in the US by the end of
| December. However, it only passed the 2m global shipments mark
| yesterday. It forecast 2m PS3 shipments by the end of 2006 in
| September, when it also delayed the console's European introduction.
|
| Still, Sony can boast that the PS3 has reached the 2m in less time
| than it took the PS2, reaching that point in a day under two months.
| The PS3 debuted worldwide in the US on 17 November.

Sony's PS3 Could Still Outsell Microsoft's XBox 360 in 2006
,----[ Quote ]
| Should the Playstation 3 end up in second place this Christmas season,
| Sony shouldn't feel too badly. The #1 selling console at the moment
| remains the Playstation 3, which sold nearly a million units in
| November, and will probably sell nearly double that in December.
