Sony America’s announced that PlayStation 3 software sales have increased by 25 percent year-on year, following the emergence of the NPD Group’s figures for January 2011 overnight.
The hardware manufacturer again dodged the topic of hardware numbers, instead opting to focus on the PS3’s vast array of swanky features, not to mention bigging up the much-anticipated release of Killzone 3 next week.
Speaking to IndustryGamers, SCEA’s senior director of corporate communications, Patrick Seybold, commented:
"January’s NPD numbers, reflecting a 25 percent increase in PS3 software sales, demonstrate continued momentum for the PlayStation ecosystem.”
"As the only system with both stereoscopic 3D and precision motion controlled gaming, PlayStation is delivering a new era of immersive entertainment fuelled by the industry’s strongest content lineup."
"Next week, with the arrival of one of the most anticipated titles of the year, Killzone 3, consumers’ expectations for exhilarating 3D graphics and fast-paced PlayStation Move action will be further elevated in living rooms around the world."
