Sony Confident In Annual PS3 Sales Expectations

September 16, 2010 · Posted in M&E Daily, Today's M&E Connections 

Overall game console sales have been sluggish this summer, but Sony Computer’s Kazuo Hirai is not worried, telling Reuters at the Tokyo Game Show that PlayStation 3 sales are on track to reach the company’s target of 15 million units through March 2011. Sales for Sony’s April-September fiscal half were likely just above forecast, Hirai added.

A full 80% of the 38 million PS3 units sold globally so far are linked to Sony’s online PlayStation Network, Hirai also noted.

Sony’s Move motion controller for the PlayStation arrives in the U.S. tomorrow. The company also will begin offering playback capability of Blu-ray 3D discs on the PS3 a part of a software update next week.
