Sony sold 6.5m PlayStation 3 units from October to December 2009

Around the globe, 6.5 million PS3 consoles were sold over the Christmas period last year. That’s up from 4.5 million the same period in 2008.

Thanks to the leaner PS3 Slim, and the price drop, Sony peddled the impressive number. Meanwhile PS2 and PSP sales continued falling.

Q3 2009 for Sony rocked, in terms of the PlayStation 3. PSP though dropped from 5.1 million to 4.2 million, and PS2 from 2.5 million to 2.1 million. Still these are some amazing numbers, especially given the PlayStation 2’s age.

Were you apart of those Q3 sales figures, videogamer?
