PlayStation 3 Lifetime Sales: 87.4 Million (Last Official Figure, Jan 2014)

87.4 million units shipped as of January 2014 (last official Sony figure).

Sony stopped reporting PS3-specific shipments after FY2013. Estimates suggest ~88–90 million total before production ended (2017 Japan, 2016 elsewhere).

Context

• Launched Nov 2006 (JP) / Mar 2007 (EU).
