Sony saw a PlayStation revenue of $5.1 billion for last year, and that’s 26 percent of the US total. It’s been a ”turning point” for PS3 says Sony.
”It’s no surprise we’ve seen PS3 units sold every month nearly double since October,” said Sony America’s Patrick Seybold, reports VG247. “We knew 2009 would be a turning point for the platform due to the new price and a content line up that is fueling unprecedented consumer and industry interest with games like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.”
”The consumer response has simply been overwhelming and we anticipate the high demand for PS3 to continue into the coming months as we work closely with retail to meet the demand.” 2010 will see some even juicier titles out, like God of War III.
”The best part of PS3’s story today is that 2010 will offer entirely new gaming experiences to consumers as we launch MAG, God of War III, 3D gaming, and the new motion controller this year,” he added. “It’s never been a better time to be a PS3 owner.”
Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has now surpassed one million sales in the US. Do you agree that 2009 was a stellar year for the PlayStation 3, videogamer?
