The PS3 has sold around 38 million units worldwide not bad, but not really on pace with the PS2, which has sold over 146 million units in ten years. SCE CEO Kaz Hirai acknowledges that the PS2 set the bar high, though he’s optimistic it can be reached by 2016.
“The high point, looking back at our console business, has been PS2,” said SCE CEO Kaz Hirai. “For PS3, that is one level of success we d like to emulate and hopefully surpass at the end of the ten-year lifecycle.”
“The PS3 has built up some momentum over the past year and Hirai wants to continue that. He’s restructured the Tokyo HQ to divide up the home console, portable and accessory responsibilities in order to better concentrate on the international market. If it s right for Japan it s probably not right for the rest of the world,” he said.
