Sony has issued an official statement in response to June’s NPD U.S. hardware figures, highlighting increased momentum in the number of PlayStation 3 units sold, in addition to yet another solid performance at retail for Sucker Punch’s inFamous.
PS3 sold 164,700 units in June, recording an increase of 33,700 units in comparison to the previous month. Meanwhile, both PS2 and PSP fared better off last month, with sales increasing by 35,700 and 63,100 units each, respectively.
Sony America’s Senior director of corporate communications & social media, Patrick Seybold, commented: “Coming out of E3, there’s no doubt PlayStation is delivering an unmatched caliber of content for the back half of the year.”
“With positive momentum of PS3 hardware over the past two months, and continued enthusiasm for breakout exclusive games like inFAMOUS, we’re on pace for another tremendous year across our platforms.”
“We’re remaining focused on providing great entertainment to consumers and are confident in delivering again on that promise this year.”
