Sony: Playstation 3 sales better than anticipated

Sony Playstation 3 might not be the best selling videogame console of this generation but it has been performing well in the last couple of months.

The company has now said that the sales of PS3 and PSP are better than expectations.

Sony added that they are on track to meet their full-year sales targets and they don’t believe the economic slowdown would hurt their goals.

Jack Tretton, Chief Executive of Sony Computer Entertainment of America said that the sales of PS3 console in the market is 30 percent better than what they had expected.

He said: “We are in good shape for that number worldwide. We are tracking at 100 percent up over last year … about 30 percent ahead of where we should be. So sales could slow down and we will still hit our number.”
