PS3 now the fastest selling console in history

Sony has hit the 400 million Euro mark to cap off its launch week that saw PAL territories snag 600,000 of Sony’s units to make the PS3 not only the most expensive console to date but also, according to ChartTrack, the fastest selling one in game history.

Sony sold 165,000 PS3 units in the United Kingdom, some 80,000 more in France and 50-60,000 in Spain, Portugal, Germany and Italy. In addition, 150,000 people have registered to the PlayStation Network the same week. Not bad for the beleaguered kings of modern gaming.

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) president David Reeves said “We saw around Euro 400 million sales going through retail across PAL territories in two days; thatÂ’s certainly a big figure, which weÂ’re very proud of.”
