Sony Japan's Kaz Hirai has revealed that the company has set a target for PlayStation 3 sales and that number is 150 million for the console's entire lifespan.
Since its launch in 2000, the PlayStation 2 has sold 140 million units, and the original PlayStation sold 102 million units.
"It's not fun for me replicating the PS2 numbers. I've seen that movie already," added Hirai.
"I want to try to see if we can exceed the PS2 numbers after nine years, otherwise why are we in this business?"
So far sales of the PlayStation 3 are just over 14 million worldwide with Sony saying they expect to sell another 10 million by next March. The next-gen console was launched in late 2006.
