According to Sony's recent earnings figures, the company has sold 24 million PlayStation 3 units globally since the console's launch in late 2006.
Total software sales, including PSN downloads for games, hit 190 million overall.
Overall, however, the picture was not rosy for Sony's financials, which followed the lower than expected numbers at Microsoft from last week.
The PlayStation division, which includes PS3, PS2, PSP and Viao PC/notebook sales, saw a year-on-year decline of 37.4 percent leading to an overall company-wide JPY $37.1 billion loss (about $389 million USD)
The Nintendo Wii remains the clear leader, with a 51 million unit install base, followed by the Xbox 360, at 31 million.
