Sony announced that the PS3 has sold over 5 million units in the U.K. The system launched in March 2007 and will see a new, cheaper 12 GB model available this week in the region.
“This is another historic moment for the PlayStation brand, and something I’m incredibly proud of,” said Fergal Gara, SCEE VP and MD for UK and Ireland. “I’d like to thank all our consumers, retailers and third party partners for helping us achieve this figure, and look forward to continued success.”
