Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced that it had sold over 2.79 million PlayStation2 and over 750,000 PS oneŽ video games consoles in the two months before Christmas, exceeding its own sales forecasts for PlayStation 2 and making it the best season ever for PlayStation.
Consumers in the SCEE PAL Territories (Europe, Middle East, Africa and Australasia) expressed a huge vote of confidence in the market leading, trusted PlayStation brand, purchasing more than 500,000 PlayStation 2 consoles during the week before Christmas. PlayStation 2 sales were up more than 293 percent on the same week last year with more than two PlayStation 2 being sold every second.
Consumer purchases of PlayStation2 in SCEE territories were 1.1 million in November and 1.68 million in December. Such is the overwhelming success of PlayStation 2 that it took the original PlayStation more than twice this period to reach the same rate of sale. PlayStation/PlayStation 2 consoles can now be found in more than 1 out of every 5 European households.
