After hearing Microsoft boasting about selling 750,000 Xbox units over the Black Friday period, Sony have finally released their sales figures.

Sony announced that they have sold more than 525,000 PlayStation 3 consoles and over 160,000 PS Vita units. Sony noted that compared to last year's sales, Bundled pack sales were up 15% and the sales of the PS3, software and peripherals were up by 9%.

The biggest selling bundle pack for Sony was the 'Ultimate PlayStation Value Bundle' which included a 250GB PS3, Uncharted Dual Pack and inFAMOUS collection for $199. Sony say that this favourite bundle deal "quickly sold out at retailers across the US."

In addition to hardware sales, Sony commented on the growing PlayStation Plus service, which the company said saw subscriptions jump 259 percent compared to last year's Black Friday period.

As for Vita, Sony claim that Amazon sold all of their specific Assassin's Creed III: Liberation Bundle (as sold for $199) in less than five hours.

If my calculations are correct, PS3 reached the 70 million mark a year earlier than Xbox 360, since it was released a year after Xbox, so yeah...
