Sony has said today that sales of the recently released slim PS3 have hit 1 million in the three weeks since its launch.
The console went on sale in North America and Europe on September 1st and in Japan on the 3rd.
The new slimmer model costs 29,980 yen in Japan, $299 USD in North America and 299 euros in Europe.
"The console packs cutting-edge technologies, including the (pre-installed) 120 gigabyte hard-disk drive and Blu-ray capability, at a lower price," adds Sony Computer Entertainment spokeswoman Makiko Noda, via the AP.
"The new PS3 has been doing very well, and one of the reasons for this is the price," noted SCE president Kaz Hirai. "As a system in the living room, we have managed to realise this price without making any changes to what is good about it."
