PS2 still selling well
Sony has released sales figures for North America and the PSP has expectedly come out on top, closely followed by the eight-year old Playstation 2, and finally, the Playstation 3, which celebrates its best sales period to date.
The PSP sold 1.4 million in the region, the Playstation 2 sold 1.3 million and the Playstation 3 sold 1.2 million units during the period between Nov. 23 to Dec. 31, bringing combined sales to a total of 3.9 million.
"The PlayStation brand ended the year in a very strong position and clearly indicates more positive momentum going into 2008," said Jack Tretton, president and chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment America.
"The strong PS3 sales also further establish Blu-ray's dominant position as the high-definition medium of choice for games and movies," he said in a statement.
Nintendo and Microsoft has yet to issue their holiday sales figures, but Microsoft has recently pointed out that they've sold 17.7 million Xbox 360 consoles in the two years since its launch.

When you think of the region saturation of both the psp and ps2 (eight years?), and they still beat the ps3 into third place, it doesn't look so good.Quote
Thats still over 1 million ps3 consoles sold in just North America.

Edit;
I've just re-read both my posts, they sound as if I'm anti-sony and that isn't the case, when they do something right I applaud them (may even buy the product).Quote
