American Ninja Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 NPD: 1.5 Million PlayStations sold in November+ Posted by Philip Rosenberg // Senior Vice President, Sales and Business Development, SCEA Hello everyone, the new NPD sales numbers are out, and I wanted to share some new sales stats that have us excited here at PlayStation central. For the month of November, PlayStation hardware unit sales exceeded 1.5 million units, including close to half-a-million PLAYSTATION 3 consoles. That?s means nearly 4 times as many PS3s ended up in North American homes in November than the month before. A slew of incredible titles this holiday season has definitely been a factor in that growth: Uncharted: Drake?s Fortune, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Rock Band, Assassin?s Creed, Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction, Heavenly Sword, and Pain (did I miss any?) should keep everyone busy well into the new year. And our new ad campaign has helped get the word out that PLAYSTATION 3 is THE gamers? console. As far as the PlayStation Portable is concerned, a lot of dudes decided to ?Get Your Own? in November. NPD reports over 567,000 PSPs were sold in November, thanks in large part to the popularity of the slimmer, lighter PSP, the debut of the PLAYSTATION Store for PC, and critically acclaimed titles like Beats, Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron, and Syphon Filter: Logan?s Shadow. While the PS3 has just passed its first birthday, the PlayStation 2 is still kicking hard seven years after launch. The PS2 remains the best-selling gaming platform ever released, with nearly half-a-million more adding to the system?s greatness in the month of November. The release of games such as BUZZ! The Mega Quiz, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and the limited-edition white PS2 bundled with SingStar Pop means that the PS2 will continue to be a favorite for millions of gamers. [time played stat?] We know that PlayStation.Blog readers are all about the games ? and these numbers are relevant to existing PlayStation owners as well. With the rise of online multiplayer games like Warhawk, Syphon Filter: Combat Ops. and this week?s big-buzz release Unreal Tournament 3, thousands more players can mean a longer, better gaming experience. So if you?re one of the hundreds of thousands of new members to the PlayStation family, welcome ? and thank you! And for those who have been around for awhile, enjoy the influx of new gamers to play with and against!

SnowRanger13 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Great news! It's almost no doubt now that PS3 has sold over 7 million world wide! I still don't see them reaching there goal of 12 million sold by march. 12 million shipped is highly possible though :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 14, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted December 14, 2007 For a minute I thought it was 1.5m PS3's! I was like :o ... Heh, still (Y) for the amount of PS3's, and good for Sony overall. The PSP will never reach the DS, but it will still do well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boz Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 LOL..hilarious how they put 1.5 million Playstations sold..HAHAHAHAHH.. masters of misleading in action.. I don't know anyone who didn't think they sold 1.5 million PS3s.. Compare this to over 300k Xbox 360s on just Black Friday and the number actually reveals how bad the sales are :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it correctly because I knew they would never shift that many PS3's. Bus I guess a lot of fanboy's will read it another way, and post it all over the internet.

Tbh even although I made the mistake the title isn't misleading. All 3 are part of the playstation brand, and all 3 sell and make money - Do you want Sony to just stop telling us about PS2/PSP sales completely? Quite hilarious some of you are actually using this as a means to complain :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just carry on :p :rolleyes: Explain that to me? I'm happy to see as many units of the PSP, PS2, PS3 sell, so that's fanboyism? They are just good figures for Sony, that's all :dontgetit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PSP will never reach the DS, but it will still do well! Yeah, I thought the same thing at first, and was a tad disappointed at reading no, 500k PS3's. I can't see them at 7 million just yet. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. They are probably over 7 million PS3s sold, if not very close. As of September 30th, 2007 there has been 5.59 million PS3s sold worldwide. There has been two full months since then. If you go add in the North America numbers for the last two months and the Japanese numbers for the last two months and the Europe numbers for the last two months were right above 7 million.
