Five million PS3 consoles have been sold in the UK. Sony’s 500GB model released on September 28th and produced a 138% jump in sales that week.
Sony UK managing director Fergal Gara spoke to MCV:”It is fantastic that we passed the 5m mark. But most importantly to me is not the milestone itself, but the fact that there is momentum behind it. And with the new chassis, and the way the market is panning out this year, PlayStation definitely has the momentum.”
A new 12GB model is out in the UK on October 12th.
