80 million PS3 consoles sold

80 million PlayStation 3 consoles have been sold around the world since launching seven years ago.

Sony revealed the number today, as well as confirming that 4332 games have been released for the PS3 excluding downloadable games.

Meanwhile the PlayStation Network has over 150 million registered accounts and more than 222,000 "digital content options".

Microsoft announced last month that the Xbox 360 had sold over 80 million units worldwide, however that console did launch a year before the PS3.

Neither of those consoles can compete with the Nintendo Wii, however, which shifted over 100 million units since November 2006.

The best-selling console of all time remains the PlayStation 2, with a whopping 155 million units sold worldwide.
