War torn streets in SOCOM: Confrontation
Battlefield: Bad Company Review
Metal Gear Online receives new game modeWe recently reported that Sony had sold 4.48 Million PlayStation 3's Worldwide, but this figure was in fact a little dated (being up until Q1 2007) and we are now almost in Q3. New information from the Australian Sony 'Experience More' event, held in Sydney, revealed by Sony puts the actual figures at approximately 6 million units sold.

Down under the PlayStation has sold 64,000 units and Sony Computer Entertainment MD Michael Ephraim explained to the audience that “on a slow week, the PS3 was selling around 2,500 units - putting it ahead of all other direct console competitors in the market.”
In related news according to Carl Rose, the Managing Director of Sony Australia - Blu-ray is dominating the market in Australia, with roughly 80 percent of all HD content (excluding PS3 games) being sold on Blu-ray discs, rather than on HD DVD.
Right now, there are 107 Blu-ray titles on the market, and with adoption rates now reaching "a satisfactory level", Sony promises to double that number by Christmas. This comes in light of this morning's announcement that retail chain Target would only be stocking Blu-ray players and discs, rubbing a little more salt in the wound of the competing high definition format.

great.. congrats to sont and the PS3
phil harrison said that they knew that the console wasnt selling that well, if the console is at 6 mil, is nintendo at 14 mil and MS at 17 mil, dont get me wrong, but Sony doesnt know how many consoles they sell, all they know is how much they sell to retailers, plus send me a link, i really want to know how they are managing to sell that much when the sales worldwide are laging behind, keep living in darkness if you want, ill live in reality, and dont give me that Sony says crap, theyve lied to me many times
funny how alot of ppl doubt sony....same thing happened with PS2 it started off a little slow then it sky rocket selling a nearly 20M the first yr...the Wii has the upper hand right now BUT! it will soon go down regardless cuz the games are ALL repetitive and 360 already lost in its home land...ppl say nintendo is dominating sonys homeland but think bout it ppl nintendo IS FRM JP!! idiots seriously get ur facts right
