Sony reports strong PS3 sales
From Times Wire Reports
Sales of Sony’s PlayStation 3 game machine totaled 1.2 million in North America during the key holiday season, the electronics and entertainment company said.
The performance gave a lift to Sony’s Blu-ray video format because the console also works as a Blu-ray player.
Competition is intense among the latest video game machines, pitting Sony against Nintendo Co.’s popular Wii and Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox 360.
Despite the strong holiday sales for the PS3, more Wiis have sold than PS3s since the consoles debuted in late 2006.
