PS3 Crosses 80 Million Sold Mark

ps3-160gb

It’s a bit crazy to think about but the PlayStation 3 has now been out for 7 years. What makes this more amazing is the fact that, despite the console’s age, Sony and its first party developers continue to pump out more from the console which could be seen this year in exclusives like The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls, and the upcoming Gran Turimso 6. To put things into perspective, the PlayStation launched one year after the Xbox 360 and has continued to cost more the entire time, yet the PS3 is now ahead of the 360 by 1.5 million units. This hasn’t happened by accident and is instead a testament to Sony and the team at PlayStation that have continued to support the console and pump out new content. Despite the PS4 launching in little over a week’s time, gamers should feel good knowing that the PS3 is anything but done.
