What was the PlayStation 3's total worldwide sales figure?

The PlayStation 3 sold over 87.4 million units worldwide.

Sony’s third home console launched between 2006 and 2007, depending on the region. It introduced Blu-ray as its game-disc format, integrated the Cell Broadband Engine processor, and offered online features through PlayStation Network. The system initially had a high price and a complex architecture, but later hardware revisions and a broader game library improved its market position.

The final sales figure is commonly reported as over 87.4 million units worldwide. It represents hardware shipped or sold across the console’s commercial lifetime, rather than the number of active users or individual games sold.

The PS3’s sales are sometimes confused with those of the Xbox 360 or with Sony’s later PlayStation 4 total. It remains a significant platform in PlayStation history, especially because Blu-ray adoption and exclusive series helped define its generation.
