PS3 breaks PS2 sales record, to overtake Xbox 360 by summer

Sony has sold one million PS3s in the UK so far. This means the PS3 has sold faster than the PS2 before it. If sales stay at this level, the PS3 will be set to overtake the Xbox 360 by summer.

Sony has sold one million PS3s in the UK so far.  This means the PS3 has sold faster than the PS2 before it.  If sales stay at this level, the PS3 will be set to overtake the Xbox 360 by summer.

The PS3 has been available in the UK since March 23, 2007.  It took 60 weeks for the Xbox 360 to sell one million units and 50 weeks for the PS2.  However, none of them were able to touch Nintendo which sold one million Wiis in 38 weeks.

According to GamesIndustry, EA is expecting the PS3 to outsell the Xbox 360 this year which may sell up to 6 million units in Europe and an additional 5 million in North America.

MCV indicates that the PS3 has been outselling the Xbox 360 for the last month.

Things are looking good for Sony’s European market but things aren’t quite as good in the American market.  It’s still good but not as good as it could be.

The lack of games is still a problem.  Most of the good games on the PS3 have yet to be released, some of which are expected later this year.  Others may be as late as 2009.  The only real purpose of a PS3 right now is as a “cheap” Blu-Ray player that can play existing and future Blu-Ray discs.

It would also probably be wiser to wait until later this year to buy a PS3 because at least one revision of the console is due.  There will likely be a choice of the “classic” console (what it looks like now) and the new “slim” version with the larger hard drive.  Though it is likely that both will be powered by the new 45nm cell processor.
