In only 11 hours it is being reported that 512,000 Ps3's have been added to the worldwide ps3 tally from Europe alone.

Worldwide sales now stand at 2.67million, still trailing to the xbox360 at 9.6million, and the Wii at 6.03million.

Reports from earlier in the year said that Sony was going to have 1 million for the PAL launch. If they actually did have that much is unknown.

For the interest of game devellopers... usually, the one winning the race got the best games from the third parties.

Huh ? I think you mean lemmings. They hated it for quite a while because it didn't show 10 million sold when their leader Peter Moore clearly said 10 million sold. (which he even admitted later that 10mil was sold to retailers)

I can't find your article. But here's one from the same source. It says that the PS3 launch was a flop.

About the same, but PS3 will pick up steam as it goes towards the holiday season where price-drops and major launches are imminent. The first two months are good, but no doubt it will slow down. Especially because of the price, and the ps3 launch hang overs.

I'll wait for official numbers before I believe it. VGCharts.org is an estimating site. They develop a formula over time to estimate the number sold. It works about as well as one could expect. I hope you understand how that doesn't work when it comes to a single day sales spike with no data preceeding it. Besides, remember how they corrected the numbers after the Wii launch?

Dude, all time record one day sales for any entertainment media in history, music, movies, whatever. NOTHING is more impressive until something beats $125 million in 24 hours.

Can you confirm that Sony's so called statistics are true? We all know that Sony never lie but I have a feeling about this one.

VGCharts.org is not official. Any numbers from them should be taken with a grain of salt. Any numbers from them based off of a guess on a single day sales spike without any data beforehand to develop some kind of a formula to ground things on should be taken with a whole teaspoon of salt.

Considering the fact that the PS3 has been available for sale via preorder for weeks now in Europe, 512 thousand is not that impressive a figure. The PS3 did not sell out and many expected that it would be. This represents the vast majority of Sony fanboys and early adopters who just can't wait to get their console.

There is still half of Europe's PS3 launch stock remaining, and I don't expect it to go as quickly.

500,000 in 1 day is pretty darn good.crashintome202

 

It's not that great. 500,000 including the preorders isn't impressive for a console but it's not bad either. WEl according to Wikie in 2005 there were 728 milion of ppl in europe Â
