According to Gamasutra, NPD, a market research firm released some sales numbers regarding the Playstation 3 and PSP. Sony’s PR head David Karraker responded to these numbers by saying that he was very pleased with them and that the manufacturing problems that have plagued the Playstation 3 have been resolved.
NPD found out that Sony only shipped 197.000 consoles to the USA instead of the earlier projected 400.000. Karraker said that Sony was on track of shipping the million units worldwide by the end of this year. He even repeated his statement that they would airlift consoles into the US to make as much consoles available as they can.
The rest of the article is about the great results Sony has made over the last couple of months and he’s quoting some impressive sales numbers of both the Playstation 2 and the PSP. Those machines are still doing quite well, and the Playstation 2 is still topping the sales charts as do the games for this platform.
He added: “The six-year old PlayStation 2 continues to dominate the market, outselling all other computer entertainment systems in November, including much newer systems from the competition. PS2 also topped the software category, out pacing all other system’s sales by almost three times. PSP (PlayStation Portable Player) had a very good November as well, seeing a jump in sales of nearly 50% and a strong increase in software sell-through. These sales figures bode very well for SCEA as it offers a computer entertainment system for every taste and budget this holiday season.”
If you haven’t got a Playstation 3 yet, there’s still a chance you might get one before the end of the year… unless you live in Europe of course.
