PS3 Hits 2 Million In UK

PlayStation 3 figures surpass the two million mark in the UK

GamesIndsutry has an interview with Ray Maguire in which he states that the PS3 has broken through the two million milestone in the UK.  He says other stuff too, but it’s the two mill we’re interested in.  It’s not a huge number, but it’s certainly about 1.9 million more than some naysayers thought Sony would achieve.

Now Ray waxes lyrical about the PS3 being a premium product priced accordingly, which is all well and good, but we all know that a price cut would be a bigger shot in the arm than the time I went paintballing and came home with a bruised elbow.

It wasn’t my elbow.  It was the elbow of someone who thought shooting me was acceptable behaviour in a game of paintball.  I said, “Yes, it is acceptable” and then forced their arm back at the elbow at an Eduardo-esque angle until it snapped off, “So is this,” I concluded.

  2. I don’t hear the word naysayers often enough, great stuff.
    Oh and well done Sony for reaching this milestone


  3. That’s great! So let’s get them all signed up to this site! You guys need to advertise more on tv! Tell people that this is more than just a news site! I am gonna take my tsa t-shirt, and run the 2010 London Marathon just to get more people aware!!!


    • Give it to me, I’ve got a place in this year’s London Marathon!


      • Please write about it here! and say hi to my friend as she is running it too :)


    • Try and run in front of the BBC cameras or something :)


      • I did it in 2004 and I was on TV for about 2 seconds.

        I’m not actually running this year though – deferring my place until next year.


  4. 2 million Brits with a PS3. Nice. Glad to be one of them! ^^


  5. Anyone know how fast this is compared to the PS2?


    • You actually think this is faster than the PS2?


  6. That’s some good news.
