Exactly 20 years ago, on November 11, 2006, Sony first shipped the legendary PS3 to Japan.
Worldwide, the release was postponed for 6 days, only until November 17, and the console arrived in Russia only in March 2007.
In the first 24 hours in Japan, the console sold 81,000 copies, causing a shortage in some stores in the early hours during an already huge queue.
In total, by 2026, Sony had sold over 87.4 million consoles with three separate models.
The 60GB high-end photo also became the only model to launch games on the PS2. Consider that Sony invented backwards compatible back in 2006.
November 11 will also mark the launch of PSN from the PS Store, which is still being developed even with the current PS5.
