Sony has announced that the PS3‭ ‬has amassed global sales above‭ ‬21‭ ‬million.‭

As part of the Sony's announcement regarding its bid to launch hardware across‭ ‬Latin America,‭ ‬the firm claimed that life-to-date sales of the PS3‭ ‬were now at‭ ‬21.3‭ ‬million.

The company also stated that‭ ‬the‭ ‬PlayStation Network has amassed‭ ‬17‭ ‬million registered accounts,‭ ‬though this was given as a whole number and not specifying if it included duplicate accounts and/or‭ ‬excluded PSP accounts and accounts activated on the‭ ‬PSN website.

Last week, Sony announced that total worldwide sell-in units of the PSP had surpassed the 50 million mark.

Good work keep it up Sony! :D

that things coasting on PS2 brand loyalty and everybody knows it.

If MS has the exact same specs and games as Ps3 has now it wouldnt even come close. The Sony name is the reason why its at 21 million.

But again, luckily its still last place.

Actually PS3 got to 21 million faster than the 360 in same time period but anyway decent sales but I'm disappointed as should Sony. The market share leader for the last 2 gens is in last place.

MS claimed Sony only sold 20 million when they shot their mouth off in their "widen our lead" press release. Sony's still in last...true enough. But where are all those lemmings who naively believed MS's word as gospel yet again.

Oh, I forgot...MS never lies or exadgerates. My bad.

Uhmmm....I've been a long time PS fan, but I bought the PS3 because I prefer Sony's first and second party exclusives over what MS offers. If caring about exclusive games = "brand loyalty" in your books, then I feel sorry for you.

For a $400-$500 system in today's economy; 21 million units is very good. Sony is in good shape even if there in "last place". Some people might say but there in last place, My question is what are they fighting for ???

When did MS say that though? I presume Sony didn't stop selling consoles in the meantime? :P

Considering the price of the competition, the bad press, and the terrible state of the economy, this is great. I hope they can cut their costs more and drop the price.

Yup, if they can cut manufacturing costs more and pass that down to the consumer, i think we'll see a massive influx of new PS3 owners.

Except I can disprove your point because I was an Xbox fan last gen and switched to PS3 this gen. I feel it's a better value, it's the better hardware, has more first party development and has the better games.

brand loyalty has definitely played a big part in those numbers, but thats only natural though.

Yeah, "brand loyalty", like what happened the christmas after Halo 3. If GoW, FFvs, and GT release this November... i guarantee 2 million PS3s sold in December, regardless of its price. I guarantee! And it will certainly happen!... if sony wants to keep their gaming division alive that is, lol.

Oh, I forgot...MS never lies or exadgerates. My bad.

Or then again, maybe Sony actually sold some units in the past 6 weeks.....and possibly both MS announcement and this announcement are true :)
