As PSP hits three


5 March 2009 12:25 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

The Sony PSP handheld and PlayStation 3 console have both hit milestones in the UK, it's been revealed.

The PS3 has now seen sales of over 2 million units in the country while PSP sales have passed the 3 million mark.

The stats, as told to MCV by UK MD Ray Maguire, follow the news from Sony that worldwide sales of the PSP have hit 50 million.

"Obviously PS3 is a premium product with a premium price tag", Maguire said:

"Interestingly, because it has sold 2 million at a higher price, it suggests more longevity of the PS3 because we have chipped away at the top end of the triangle".
