PS3 passes 22m European sales

MCV Staff 25th August 2011 Business News

Total lifetime sales of Sony’s PS3 have now passed the 22m unit mark in European territories.

PS2 across our territory went well over 50m units. We’re at 22m on PS3. So there’s lots of life in that still to come,” new SCEE boss Jim Ryan told MCV.

SCE UK wasted no time in promoting the new PS3 price this week. An outdoor campaign began on Monday (August 22nd) with over 5,000 UK roadside sites featuring six-sheet posters. A UK press campaign started last Friday, with the right ad featuring in Metro.

The new price for PS3 will make the console accessible to a broad range of new consumers,” UK marketing director Alan Duncan added.

It was essential that we supported it with a heavyweight campaign. The announcement also kicks off a busy period with major campaigns for Resistance 3, DanceStar Party, PS Move, the new PSP and Uncharted 3.”

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
