According video game sales tracking site VGChartz.com, the PS3 has now sold over 4 million units to customers worldwide. The website, which collects data directly from retailers, provides weekly sales numbers for all current-gen consoles. Since the price cut on the PS3 in North America, and the release of "Everybody's Golf" in Japan, sales numbers for the PS3 are up dramatically. VGChartz' numbers indicate that for the past month, the PS3 has outsold the XBox 360 even in Microsoft's home territory.
While the individual game companies provide data on the number of consoles shipped to stores, they don't have a way of measuring directly the number of systems sold to customers. VGChartz and other organizations such as NPD survey retailers to find out how many of those shipped systems actually wind up in customers hands. This recent surge in sales definitely good news for Sony, and couldn't have come too soon.
