1 Million PS3 Shipped

"Sony have just put out a statement claiming to have shipped 1m games consoles to the US in 2006. Apparently they actually only managed this by the first week of 2007.

Whenever a new, next-generation technology is scheduled, you can always rely on it to be late. Especially if you are aiming at the holiday season. But Sony can afford to take a little extra time. Aside from the removal of 'rumble' technology, the PS3 is the most advanced games console on the market.

 Once the next batch of Sony games arrives we are sure to see some true innovations and advancements - ones that Microsoft cannot deliver as it has no motion sensing technology

But it really can't be forgotten that the PS2 outsold the Xbox 360, the PS3 and the Wii put together.

The PS3 will also offer music, movie and TV downloads soon enough – it won’t just be the Xbox 360 with this capability." - ITWIRE
