PS3 continues to shatter records: France edition
via PS3 Fanboy
Yes, you read the subject line correctly: France. The place where everyone claims the PlayStation 3 launch was a complete and utter disaster. While the launch events may have been a disaster, it's important to be able to separate those from the actual console performance upon launch. In that respect, France gave the PS3 a very, very nice welcome.
Despite the reports of the PS3 selling 600,000 units across Europe in two days, one cannot help but speculate what each region sold in a similar period. According to George Fornay, prez of SCEF (F for France, silly), said that the number of units sold in France over a two day period totalled to 78,000. He expects the 100,000 mark to be passed by the end of this coming weekend. This number trumps the 360 and Wii launches for France, even the PS2 only sold a bit over 60,000 units. Awesome! Keep it going, Sony!
