Sony reaches goal...

Despite tons of manufacturing problems, Sony has announced that they have shipped one million PS3 units to North America in the first six weeks of sales.

Jack Tretton, chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment, confirmed the figures at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas yesterday, commenting: "SCEA went to great lengths to help meet demand for PS3 including airlifting systems into North America on a weekly basis. The fact that we were able to reach the one-million mark faster than our top-selling platform, the PS2, further validates the strength of the PlayStation brand and our belief that consumers are ready to experience true high-definition gaming."

In comparison, the Wii sold 1.8 million units in the same timeframe, while the Xbox 360 sold 600,000 units.
