Sony Moves 1.5 Million Moves in Europe
In an interview with Bloomberg News, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head Andrew House said that the company has been experiencing strong sales in European territories for both PlayStation 3 and its new PlayStation Move motion controller.
"Sales have been significantly up year-on-year in a market that has been overall slightly down,” he said. Due to high demand in Europe and North America, House revealed that Sony believes that it will actually exceed its projections of selling 15 million PS3s during the current fiscal year.
House also boasted of stronger-than-expected sales of the PlayStation Move controller in Europe. In the month since its release, House said the company has sold 1.5 million Moves across all European territories. This good news led House to claim that Sony is on target to restore its game division to profitability by the end of the fiscal year ending March 2011.
