PS3 Sales At 87.4 Million As Of March 2017

4.3
For the first time in years, Sony has shared a sales update for the PlayStation 3. In yesterday’s financial report, where we learned about the PS4’s fantastic market performance, Sony also shared updated shipment numbers for their last console.

According to Sony, the PS3 was at 87.4 million units shipped, as of March 31, 2017, which is a respectable place for it to have ended (though it squarely places it as the worst performing PlayStation console, given all of the others breached 90 million units).

Far more impressive is the performance of PS3 software—according to Sony, PS3 sold roughly a billion games over its life, which means the attach rate was about 11 games sold per console. That actually means it has the highest attach rate of any PlayStation console, though PS4 may well overtake it by the time all is said and done.

Now all we have to do is hope that one day, Sony randomly shares a sales update for the PS Vita as well—it remains the only console to not have received a sales update from Sony.

too bad ps3s are out of production :( i would have bought another one due to i sold mine in 2013 for the ps4 which by god was a great trade imo, but i miss the modded bo1 and mw2 lobbies on ps3 they are much better and have nicer modders than on xbox 360(and yes i met alot of them on both consoles and 360 modders are mainly aholes well ps3 modders arent)

i had a great time with my ps3 too bad my original ps3 slim disk drive broke 5months or was it 8months after buying it kinda odd since i rarely used it, god i wish consoles would still get produced even if they are a decade or 5 decade old

So they probably at 100 million or so now but still some incredible statistics even though I hated the PS3.
