One Million PS3s Already Pre-ordered?

Over at Blu-ray.com, we’ve gotten an interesting piece of information about the status of PS3 pre-order. To date, a total of one million PS3 units have been pre-ordered. This was brought up in relation to the Blu-ray and HD-DVD coverage of Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) 2006. Its the world’s largest electronics and IT show, which was held from September 1-6, 2006 in Berlin, Germany. 

The site also covered other brands that also have Blu-ray features in their products. It’s not clear whether the numbers refer to the pre-orders in North America or worldwide. One thing’s for sure though, demand for the PS3 is never an issue. The question is whether this demand will be met come launch time. In one of our articles, Sony‘s representatives said a total of 1.2 million PS3s are expected to hit US and Japanese markets by the end of December.
