Worldwide PS3 sales top 80 million units, Sony claims
The 80 million sales milestone was reached on November 2, 2013, the platform holder said today.
The news follows Microsoft's mid-October announcement that worldwide Xbox 360 sales had reached 80 million units since the system launched in November 2005, one year earlier than PS3.
As of September 30, 2013, Sony says 4,332 software titles had been released for PS3 worldwide, excluding downloadable games. A further 300 will be released this winter, including Gran Turismo 6, the latest entry in PlayStation's best-selling franchise.
The PlayStation Network, which launched alongside PS3 in 2006, now operates in 59 countries and, as of September 19, it had amassed more than 150 million registered accounts. PSN's global catalogue offers over 222,000 digital content options, including 72,000 pieces of game content, Sony says.
In August, when Sony announced a PS4 release date of November 15 in North America and November 29 in Europe, the company said more than one million PS4 pre-orders had been placed worldwide. The PS4 price is set at £349 / €399 / $399.

KatsumiBalloonsKatsumidoges Wow, thats a ton of PS3's, i wonder how many xboxs have sold
Judging from the news article Xbox One sales are also around the 80 million mark
We'll it said 80 million sold last year for xbox so probably another million or two sold since then
I could see them selling little over the 80 million mark. Nothing over 90 million though
Why so?
Records are there to be broken.

They are pretty close when it comes to sales. Not long ago the PS3 passed the 360 after 3 years.
sad part is it took them a whole 3 years to do so
Playstation sells haven't even came close to touching the amount microsoft has sold with the Xbox.

Could you imagine if they never lowered the price down from $500.
They probably wouldn't have sold a third of this much.

It's funny that they started at a $600 price tag and got all the way down to $300.
I'm sure the next gen consoles will have a price change like that as well.

VANAGON Thats amazing, The ps3 did really well.
It didn't quite reach the level of the PS2 but i agree that it did really well in the market. I could see if selling a million or so more units throughout it's life time but sales should drop with the coming of the PS4
