PS3 moves 1.2 million over the holiday season

Maybe we're remembering incorrectly, but we weren't sure if the PS3 could move one million units across the holiday season. If that's what we were doubting, we have to eat our words. In a press release, Sony announced their hardware sales and the PS3 moved 1.2 million hardware units in the holiday season (November 23 – December 31, 2007).

The good news for Sony doesn't end there. The PSP moved 1.4 million units and the ancient, wise PS2 managed to keep up with its brethren, moving over 1.3 million units in this, it's eighth holiday season. In recognition of this success, SCEA bigwig Jack Tretton said "The PlayStation brand ended the year in a very strong position and clearly indicates more positive momentum going into 2008. We are particularly pleased to have sold through 1.2 million units of PS3 during the holiday selling season." We're proud too, Sony. Excellent work.
