Lately the Playstation 3 has been selling more than usual. During July to September the Playstation 3 sold 2.43 million consoles, and last year that number is almost half, at 1.31 consoles. The PSP sales have gone up as well, from 2.85 million to 3.18 million console sales.

Sony's PlayStation business has been booming over the last couple of months, although the rest of the company isn't doing as well as the platform holder would like.

PS3 sales hit 2.43 million during the second quarter of Sony's business year (July to September). That's up 85% on the 1.31 million sold during the same period last year.

The company's overall quarterly profit fell by 72% to $214 million and, according to Edge-Online, its share price fell to a 16-year low ahead of the release of the financial results. Ouch.
