Sony, along with their quarterly earnings, has revealed the sales figures for their gaming consoles.
Overall sales were down 10.2 percent for the fiscal year ended March 2010, but the PlayStation 3 was up significantly, from 10.3 to 13 million.
The overall decrease can be attributed to the fall of the PSP handheld and the aging PlayStation 2.
PSP sales were down large from 14 million to 9.9 million and the PlayStation 2 fell marginally from 7.9 million to 7.3 million.
The company reported an operating loss of $889.1 million USD for the year, slightly down from the $900 million+ loss last year.
Software sales on the PS3 jumped to 115.3 million from 103.7 million last year, while PS2 game sales collapsed to 35.7 million from 83.5 million. PSP game title sales fell as well from 50.3 million to 44.4 million.
