Less than a year after it' s March 23rd launch in the United Kingdom and the PlayStation 3 has hit the million units sold mark, according to UK market research company Chart-Track. Despite a somewhat rocky start, Sony' s initially luxury-priced console has managed to reach said milestone even faster than it' s predecessor, the PlayStation 2. Not only has it outperformed it' s older brother, but the PS3 has also been completely kicking the ass of Microsoft' s Xbox 360 as well.

" ChartTrack has also revealed that the Sony console has been outselling 360 for the last month. " It has been outselling 360 for the last four weeks, but they were neck and neck over the Christmas period, weeks 49-52," said ChartTrack director Dorian Bloch."
