IGN AU Sony 'Experience More' Event Coverage: 6 Million PS3 Sold Globally, Blu ray Dominates

The Sony Experience More event, Sony Australia's annual consumer electronics trade event, was on again this year in Sydney. Move over, Nintendo - if you want to see a gaming console turned into a mainstream consumer do-all device, you need not look further than today's presentation.

A 16 hour old article says 4.48 million have been shipped.
This says 6 million.

Thats a difference of 1.52 million.
If each PS3 is approx 0.33 of a meter long then that would mean that end to end 1.52 million would stretch for 506km or 312miles.

How can 2 figures who both claim to be accurate be so far apart?

@achira.
Thanks. It does get confusing when Sold means different things to different people.

achira6120d ago

4.48 mil sold not shipped, 6 mil shipped. thats why.

bee24276120d ago

the article actually says sold not shipped, i dont know what is neccessarily true

TheMART6121d ago

Hahahaa

SONY MAMBO JAMBO!

They're being creative with numbers again I guess. They are constantly posting the units they WISH they had sold I bet.

Their goal first was:

6 million sold @ march 2007
then 6 million sold in the fiscal year ending 01-07-2007

They couldn't make it. They ended about 3.5 mln. at the end of June for sure. The temporary price cut in USA for July made a jump of 123%, but the USA sales were under 100k then for 3 months. World wide three months about 200k.

Thus logical thinking gives:

jump of 123% in USA: makes about 223k sold in USA for July. Plus 100k, well lets be very optimistic, also 200k for the rest of the world. Makes 423k sold in July world wide.

3.5 mln. sold at the end of June + 423k sold in July makes? Right. At the most 4 mln.

Sony probably has shipped 4.5 mln. to the end of the fiscal year and a lot extra in July to what 5 mln. or maybe 6mln.

San anto6120d ago

Oh no....i thought we killed you...

kevin11226120d ago

sorry to tell you buddy, it was 6 million shipped by march. And they have sold 4.5 mil now with 6 mil shipped.

Bathyj6120d ago

Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla. Bla Bla Bla, Bla Bla Bla Bla. Bla?

... How I 'ignore' him, I can't find the the button... I'm sick of reading his fanboy rants now...

Chava6120d ago (Edited 6120d ago )

i have an idea, something that should hopefully improve you're life - get one.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW HE HAS SO MANY BUBBLES, MORE THAN ME, HE'S MUCH WORSE THAN ME

Pika-pie6120d ago

But if we ignored him who would we all laugh at and rip sh1t out of.

I dont recall Sony ever forcasting 6mil by Mar07. How can they hope for that figure like that in 4 months of a US release and 15 Days of a Euro release. The Wii only barley managed that and that had a 6 month worldwide release under its belt by that time.

Your posts have more holes then a 20 year old Mini.

Oh and look at MS forecast, the said that this year they would turn a profit from its gaming division.. Uh Oh!

nix6120d ago

you approved this news so that you can comment some sh!t about it. pathetic, i tell ya!

ash_divine6120d ago

Where was theMart when all the good ps3 news was all over the place?
I would've loved to here his take on those things. I guess you don't bother coming to this if you can't sh!t talk, am I right Mr.Mart?

and he really cant read other wise he'd have seen this... thats just your typical Fankid.

Daewoodrow6120d ago

The title should be changed to say "shipped", so as not to contradict the article posted earlier that said 4.5 million.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro51d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7251d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_51d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga51d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2351d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200051d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin51d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole51d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix51d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198951d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds554d ago (Edited 554d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno554d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya554d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020554d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds554d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya554d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman554d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran554d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.
