Andrew House, president and CEO of SCEE, announced today at GamesCom that Sony has currently sold 138 million PlayStation 2 units and 52.9 million PSP units worldwide. Speaking at Sony’s press conference, House went on to explain that 23.7 million PlayStation 3 units have been sold worldwide, with SCEE accounting for 10 million of that figure.
That PlayStation Network has some 27 million registrants who have used the download service more than 560 million times. In total, Sony has generated $280 million USD in revenue from the PlayStation Store. It also appears the PSN is getting a makeover on September 1.
The PlayStation Home has a user base of more than 7 million, and Sony plans to continue to develop and add to the social interactive service. We can expect to see new Home Spaces and more content in the coming weeks and months.
It appears PAL users will get a download movie support service for the PSN. Starting in November, PS3 and PSP owners can start taking advantage of the video service. You will be able to access other content while you are downloading the videos. The service will launch initially in the U.K., France, Germany and Spain.
Stick with PSU for more from GamesCom and more on the changes coming to the PSN.

@Adam Dolge(aka the writer of this error filled article)
I'm pretty sure that the event is called GAMESCOM not Gamescon,and i also believe that Space isn't really a country.Please fix these errors ASAP,as it is quite alarming to see the quality of PSU's articles dipping this much.

I am glad to see the expansion in all the territories but it still bothers me that Europe will be getting the video service before Canada!!!!! Seriously, I read that the CRTC has cleared the way for this but what is stopping the video feeds from crossing the border??? i would really like an explaination for this and not just speculation....if anyone could help with this it would really help.
