US PS3 Hardware Sales Up 14%

The NPD recently released a report highighting that the US video game market has seen the lowest physical game sales for five years.

Sony has responded to these sales figures by pointing out that the PS3 is selling 14 per cent more, year on year, than it was last May – which means Sony has now enjoyed 4 consecutive months of double figure sales growth.

“The PS3 platform is stronger than ever, and with the launch of Infamous 2, we continue to show our commitment to delivering the best and freshest content line-up available to our consumers,” said SCEA senior director of corporate communications, Patrick Seybold.

“At E3 last week, we saw first-hand the consumer excitement for 3D, PlayStation Move and our first party franchise titles that will continue to drive the brand.”
