PlayStation 3 And Xbox 360 Now Neck And Neck
Despite launching nearly a full year after Xbox 360, Sony has managed to catch up to Microsoft's console with both now sitting at 70 million units shipped worldwide, according to the latest company financials.
Sony revealed this morning the PlayStation 3 has shipped 70 million units as of November 4. Additionally, PlayStation Move sales sit at 15 million units shipped since November 11. PS3 software sales have reached 595 million units shipped.
Microsoft confirmed late last month it has also shipped 70 million Xbox 360 units to date. The Nintendo Wii sits at 97.2 million units shipped.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
