PlayStation 3 hits 2 million in the UK

GI.Biz writes: "Sony Computer Entertainment UK has revealed that the PlayStation 3 has broken through the 2 million unit milestone in the UK, ahead of the second anniversary of its release in Europe, while the PlayStation Portable has now passed the 3 million mark nationally.

But the company's senior VP and MD for SCE UK, Ireland & Nordic, Ray Maguire, has admitted to GamesIndustry.biz that Sony is going through a tough time at the moment, partly due to overarching issues that the company has no control over - although he is confident that its flagship console will continue to grow by around another 1 million units in the next 12 months."

Thats pretty damn good. Keep it pushing Sony, your gaining some momentum so now it's time to push the hell out of Infamous and cut the price.

die_fiend5541d ago

Hmmmm, it's not pretty damn good considering the size of the UK games market. But yeah hurry up and cut the price, I need a blu ray player that can also play some sweet games.

WildArmed5541d ago

Hmm. I thought they were doing better.
But i guess UK's gaming market is smaller.
2mil in 2years n 4 months? or somthing.
I guess it aint too bad.
A price cut would help, but i think Sony needs to start making profit from all the loss of the initial ps3s..
so profit first, cut later :D

Cyrus3655541d ago

^^^ Nah, remember PS3 launched later in Europe/UK I believe they launched in Mid of March, so it's roughly exactly 2 years.

PirateThom5541d ago

2 million in just under 2 years, it didn't release here until late March.

Not to mention, at launch, the PS3 became the UK's fastest selling home console, only beaten by the PSP in terms of game hardware.

WildArmed5541d ago

I guess i was misinformed ^^

IzKyD13315541d ago

"so it's roughly exactly 2 years"

gamesmaster5541d ago (Edited 5541d ago )

yes i'm absolutely certain it might have come out in march....maybe. lol

jammy_705540d ago

so that leaves 58 million people in UK with no ps3... go buy it.....

WildArmed5540d ago

lol Jammy you do realize that some of those 58 million migth be living together hence do not need to buy a ps3.

This game deserves a remaster for current consoles. It was awesome on PS3.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv722d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii2d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast2d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM2d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife1d 18h ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit1d 13h ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife1d 12h ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
