Sony’s claimed that PS3 has now sold more than 21 million machines globally today, as part of an announcement detailing plans to extend the PlayStation brand into South America.
The company is launching PS2, PSP and PS3 across 13 countries in the region, and will establish a localised PSN.
The firm will also introduce a localised website for South America.
Tons more on Edge.

WOW! Look at that BIG number!!
reask said:
So how far are they behind 360 now?
Gap must be closing.
Patrick Garratt said:
360’s about 25 million, I think? I may well be wrong.
reask said:
No Pat much more than that I would think.
DrDamn said:
about 28-29m for the 360.
reask said:
That sounds about right.
odessa said:
I like the ‘21 million’ tag. How many searches do you get for that specific figure?
theevilaires said:
How is it that every time a sony article is posted, “xbots” (those little greened eyed fucks) are always the first to post something. Why do you leprechaun fucks care what sony has sold. Do you get a cut every month? Get a life and stop trolling sony news losers.
Rhythm said:
Yeah, they passed 25 million back in November so they much be touching 30 by now.
With the way people talk about the consoles though, you’d have thought Sony were way more than 30% down. It doesn’t seem too far fetched to think that a major push and price cut this year could start pulling them back into the game
LeD said:
I don’t think they’re in a position to do a price cut, given the economic circumstances.
reask said:
Still they may have no choice as week on week 360 is outselling it.
Patrick Garratt said:
I’m just asking Michael Pachter if he thinks PS3 will get passed 360 on a global level this year.
reask said:
Well whatever he tells you Pat go with the opposite and you should be bang on.
theevilaires said:
If the ps3 dropped in price right now, a week before KZ2, it would be over for M$.$300 ps3 + $60 KZ2 = $360
everyone wins lol.
LeD said:
Wow you wrote M$. That’s like, rad man. True rebel you.
reask said:
Yes but that is there problem price.
Good console just too damn expensive.

Which is the reason xbox360 has sustained its poor lead admit it xbot or should i say psychobitch2.
reask said:
No thats not the reason imo.
If the PS3 was worth the price folks would buy it.
There problem was over hyping it.
As a gaming console it is no better or worse than 360.
theevilaires said:
No better? Have you heard devs say they can put twice as many objects on the ps3 version of a game and don’t let me get started on KZ2. Kid go back to sleep.
theevilaires said:
Also what was all that garbage people were talking about when the ps3 was released. The gpu on the 360 is more powerful. Hello where is KZ2 equal on the 360 and don’t say gears2 lol. Gears2 was a notch up from gears1 just like motorstorm 2 was from MS1.
Syrok said:
It costs twice as much as the DSi will when it gets released here.

In the beginning lets brake it down $600
$100 for ps1 and ps2
$100 for card readers/wifi/60gb HDD
$200 for ps3
$200 for Blu-ray
to tech heads yea it was worth it.
to sony loyalist yea it was worth it.
to gamers yea it was worth it
to ppl trying to make a profit on ebay it was worth it.
to xbots no it wasn’t worth it.
to the millions who camped out over night for it and people who woke up 3am to line up at a mall with a bunch of crazy idiots running in the dark while the police chase them around the mall parking lots WORTH IT!!!!!

Cheap console just too damn…. boring.

But that is just your opinion which you are entitled to.
What is better about KZ2 please tell me, is it co-op?
Oh wait I forgot it doesn’t have it.
And dont get me started on dual shock. At least we didnt have to fork out 50 odd bucks for the pleasure 12 months after release.
And as for games yeah right just wait till haze comes out then we will see the power of the cell.
Or lair or RFOM 2 lets see what they said about that.
Oh yes I remember what they said. We have no problem going up against Gears 2.
Why not wait until KZ2 actually comes out before you start bragging about it.
See its not the PS3 that amuses me just the constant crap everyone goes on about.
You would think no one else has any right to be doing better than them.
LeD said:
I think we should all stop entertaining that idiot, quite frankly.
theevilaires said:
ok i’ll shut you and psychobitch2 up. RROD, too human, scratch disk all over europe, we don’t need bluray our system is a game machine first and foremost comment (add on HD-DVD player),halo 3 sucked,the d-pad is shit,jet engine sound while watching the inferior dvd video format,UT3 on 360,have to pay $110 just to play cod4 online,blue dragon and every other rpg sales on 360,can’t move hardware for shit in japan,can’t handle a simple app like F@H,Disc tray, no wifi, oh and did i mention RROD!!!!!! still after 3 years on the market….ps no web browser
Patrick Garratt said:
Michael got back. Top of site.
reask said:
Yes you did twice actually.
Heres the thing why is it PS3 doesn’t bother me and 360 bothers you.
Maybe you are secretly sorry you got the wrong one.
theevilaires said:
And you talk about lair, a game that was designed when the ps3 first came out. How come ninja gaiden had so many frame rate issues. It was made by a guy who always said he likes working on the best hardware (yea right). Now onto the infamous “TOO HUMAN” i think a lot of people would choose lair over that crap. And now to the big boys Halo3 vs MGS4. yea enough said. MGS4 was a better game than your precious halo. But wait i’ll guess you’ll say they are different. well that didnt stop people from comparing rfom2 to gears2 now did it.
theevilaires said:
I’m very happy with my two purchases while your cheap ass regrets not having full backwards compatibility
reask said:
Oh get over it tea both consoles are good and you know it.
And not all PS3 models have full bc as I recall.
Also I get to download full original games on mine.
LeD said:
Well done theevilaires, now you’ve really convinced me.
That you’re 12, 15 at a push.
Just so you know, there are many of us on this site that own more than one machine, and purchase games for them and enjoy them for their own merits, regardless of what platform they run on.
theevilaires said:
I didn’t say the 360 wasn’t good. also you big shot money making euros could have imported an american ps3. The games are region free and all of you worship american films anyway, so you could buy blu-rays off of amazon. I have the 20gb and the 60gb (the true ps3). I can play all the gran turismos and final fantasies (on ps systems)on one system.
As for the 360 being good yea for the reasons below:
1. To scare your neighbors into thinking you are building a rocket in your living room
2. Extra Christmas lights when you get the RROD
3. To catch ghost like a ghost buster with the 360’s power brick
4. To roast marshmallows with the heat it produces.
5. To see green shit cover your tv screen
6. To have a 3 year warranty on something
7. To help pedophiles (psychobitch) find 13 year old boys while evading NBC Dateline To catch a Predator
8….To catch predators (psychobitch)
9. To play easy burned games on the affordable DVD format with a modded system (saves money in bad economy
)
and 10. The CONSOLE FLAME WARS… making every day nerds like you guys, some one.
THANK YOU for your time.

As I understand it, and Kotaku says the same, Sony’s figures for console sales are for actual sales to consumers, whereas Microsoft’s figures are sold to retail.
Psychotext said:
These are their sold to retailer numbers from Q3 of their financial year ending March 2009.

They used to record these figures as production shipments (shipped to warehouse) but changed it to sold to retailers as of June 2007 (the same method Nintendo and MS use).
