Sony has hit a milestone over in the UK as the PlayStation 3 has sold 5 million units over there.
This comes straight after the console’s new 500GB model was just released which helped boost sales for the week. In a related milestone, 4 million PlayStation 3 consoles have been sold in France.
“This is another historic moment for the PlayStation brand, and something I’m incredibly proud of,” said Fergal Gera, SCE vice-president and managing director for UK & Ireland, “I’d like to thank all our consumers, retailers and 3rd party partners for helping us achieve this figure, and look forward to continued success.”
4 million PlayStation 3 consoles were sold in the UK in early 2011. One has to wonder if next year 6 million PS3’s will be sold in the UK…
