Sony reports that PlayStation 3 has now passed unit sales of 80 million worldwide (as of November 2). Just a couple of weeks after Microsoft announced the same number. They also provided some interesting little factoids:
"Launched alongside the PS3 system and in conjunction with PSN, PlayStation Store (PS Store) offers a variety of downloadable digital content where PS3 system owners can select from a global catalogue of more than 222,000 digital content options, including 72,000 game content."
"The PS3 system continues to gain strong support from 3rd party developers and publishers worldwide with the cumulative number of software titles released for the PS3 system reaching 4,332 worldwide." (this number counts only retail releases)
A further 300 titles (retail and digital) are set for release on PS3 between November 1 and December 31.
