LittleBigPlanet has hit another massive milestone this week. The LBP franchise now has more than 6 million user-generated games and levels created by fans and uploaded online to the PlayStation Network.
According to EA, Battlefield 3 has now sold over 8 million units worldwide and has shipped over 12 million to store shelves. In general, the Battlefield franchise is still far away from reaching the sales figures the Call of Duty franchise has achieved over past few years.
According to a recent SCEE press release, Naughty Dog blockbuster Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, sold 3.8 million units in its first day alone. In comparison, Battlefield 3 recently shifted 5 million units in its launch week all three available platforms. Seeing that Uncharted 3 is a PlayStation exclusive, this is a phenomenal achievement.
Battlefield 3 was released worldwide last week, with EA reporting that over 10 million units were shipped. This week, EA has announced that the game has sold over 5 million units within the first week, making Battlefield 3 the fastest selling title in EA’s 29 year history.
EA’s FIFA ’12 has become the biggest release in the history of sports games and the number one videogame launch of the year so far. According to the recent figures gathered by the company, since its September 27 release, FIFA 12 has so far sold an estimated 3.2 million units across all consoles worldwide, “making it the biggest launch in the history of sports videogames and the biggest videogame launch of 2011 to date.”
The Uncharted 3 Beta went public earlier this week, opening up access to all PlayStation Network users. Since it went public, more than 1 million players have accessed the beta, and is rising every day. The first two games have been massive hits on the PlayStation 3, so its no doubt that games are excited about the third title.
Congratulations are in order for everyone who has played LittleBigPlanet 2. Thanks to all of you, MediaMolecule has recently hit a very cool milestone – more than four million LittleBigPlanet levels have now been shared by players around the world.
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today announced that the cumulative sales of the PlayStation 3 has reached a milestone of 50 million units worldwide, as of March 29, 2011. SCE also announced that PlayStation Move sales surpassed 8 million units worldwide as of April 3, demonstrating continued growth and momentum of the PS3 platform.
ModNations Racers is not only a Greatest Hits title, it has also achieved a huge milestone since the game was released. The game hit 1 million creations back in August 2010, and it’s taken only six months for users to create another million tracks, karts and mods.
The PlayStation Network community officially surpassed the 50 million mark last year, but a new milestone was reached this year. At CES 2011, Sony announced that the PSN has over 60 million users now using the service, up from 38 million users from last year.
