Sony has sent word that it has moved 1 million PS3′s worldwide in the past three weeks since the launch of its slimmer, less expensive models.

And with Sony announcing that the whole of Europe will have video service support by the end of 2010, that will probably help sales as well – we peeked into our very own crystal ball on that one.

“While maintaining cutting-edge features and functions, such as the ability to enjoy high quality interactive entertainment content including Blu-ray Disc games and movies as well as various content and services downloadable through PlayStation Network, the new PS3 is available at a highly attractive recommended retail price,” reads the press release.

How rude! Sony’s throwing its big bash, and Microsoft’s trying to hog all the attention with a monster announcement of its own. If we didn’t know any better, we’d think these two were trying to one-up each other or something.

Anyway, Microsoft has officially named a number of the publishers working behind the scenes on Project Natal. They are:

• Activision Blizzard
• Bethesda
• Capcom
• Disney Interactive
• Electronic Arts
• Konami
• MTV Games
• Namco Bandai
• Sega
• Square Enix
• THQ
• Ubisoft

As to what games they’re actually developing for the all-seeing box, no one knows. Still though, this list of publishers is great fuel for the flames of speculation, and since Natal’s probably not coming until Fall 2010, there’s still plenty of time for guesses. And leaks. Those are nice too.
