PS3 moves nearly 800k in December according to NPD

Well, the numbers are in for December and we have to say Sony did all right. As far as the PlayStation 3 is concerned, this was the biggest month in its career since launch — 798k units were sold in the last month of 2007. We know the momentum for PS3 is just increasing for 2008 so we whole-heartedly expect to see that number obliterated come December 2008.

How about Sony's other machines? Well, the PS2 continued to sell very well thanks to its library of an estimated 1,500 games. It moved 1.1 million units in December and sold more software than any console on the market. We're not surprised, but we're impressed the system continues to experience such success. If you want to know how the PSP did, you'll just have to look over at PSP Fanboy, won't you? We'll just say that combining the three hardware's sales together generated approximately $714 million, a number Sony says beats out their competitors.
