Global cumulative sales of Sony’s three PlayStation models has reached 185 million, of which over 67 million units in European markets.

According to the latest statistics made available to the media, Sony PlayStation 2 sales have reached 130 million (of which 48 million in Europe); Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) sales hit 41 million (13.4 million in Europe); and Sony PlayStation 3 sales are now at 14 million (5.8 million in Europe).

Sony is expecting global sales of over 37 million PlaySations in the current fiscal year, split 14 million each between the PS2 and the PSP, with the PS3 accounting for the remaining 9.24 million units.


It is forecasting slightly slower sales in the 2008 fiscal year, largely due to slower sales in the PS2, with both the PSP and the PS3 expected to continue growing.

Meanwhile, global PlayStation software sales have exceeded 1.6 billion, of which 1.39 billion are for the PS2.

There are 1,834 games for the PSP and counting, which have produced sales of 157 million units. The 475 games for the PS3 have generated sales of 71.3 million of which 20% are first party titles.

There are about 250 PS3 titles, with the highest sales reaped by Global Motorstorm with three million and GT5: Prologue, accounting for sales of 1.5 million.

Sony said total European sales of Blu-ray discs, which can also be used in the PS3, amount to 3.5 million, while there are 34 million homes with an HDTV worldwide. (Source: The Malta Independent)
