PS3 Racks up more than 3.8 million in units sold over the holiday season

We posted the other day about what Nintendo estimated as to being the sales of the Wii and other software and hardware over the holiday season, and they figured around 4 million. Well Sony has come out and have announced the sales of the PlayStation 3 worldwide  during the holiday season (~November 24 to December 28), and the system got a 76% boost from last year exceeding more than 3.8 million sold. Needless to say this was the best holiday season the little console has had in it’s lifetime.

With a strong lineup before including games like Uncharted 2, Assassin’s Creed II, Final Fantasy XIII and others, there’s no doubt that it would do well considering the major price drop. The lineup looks strong for the console too into the new year. Notable games include God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Gran Turismo 5, and MAG. Well done Sony, you didn’t suck this holiday season and competed. We’re proud of you and stoked on your lineup this year.
