Very nice, the slim is the most beautiful one imo.

You should see some of the modern PS3 setups...with emulators loaded for ps1 & 2 games. Some can play Nintendo and sega games from the nes / snea and genesis etc.

That's with no opening of the console...just software. Great console.

We have to thank okonomi yonda who works at Sony's Tokyo headquarters. It was nice of him to take the time to photograph the PS3 and share this.
Oh okay he works for Sony I see... I agree as this is something new that we indeed didn't know about!

I see... So do we know what his job at Sony exactly is? Like does he work on the PlayStation related things like maybe the software stuff or what?

I don't know excatly what he do at Sony, but according to his profile :

一所懸命にHWデザイナーのふりをやっとる現代のC++が大嫌いなSWの開発者。FPGAのGPUとレトロな家庭用ゲーム機を作ること、うちの猫(ニュートリノ+コスモス)、お箏の演奏、ゲーム開発、抹茶+和菓子がめっさ好きやねん。tweetsは私個人の意見で、会社を代表するものやない
Softwar developer who hates modern C++ and pretends to be a Hardware designer, loves FPGA GPUs, making retro home consoles, my cats (neutrino + cosmos), playing the koto, game development, green tea + Japanese sweets. tweets are my own opinion and do not represent the company.

So that means there was quite a few PS3's stuffed in the channels right since Sony only SOld 87.4 Million PS3 as of march 31, 2017?

I wonder if that March 31st, 2017 figure doesn't include PS3 sent to PS Now

I find it fascinating that ever since Shawn Layden showed of the 82 million PSP people have been able to find the 160 Million PS2 and now this

You will notice that Sony uses the term of "more than 87.4 million" (without specifying exactly how much).

They do the same for all PlayStation consoles.

I understand that but it would be weird to have it at "more than 87.4 million" and it actually was in the 88 millions instead. Why include the .4?

Also the system says last PS3 produced but from what I remember but the PS3 didn't end production until October of 2016 in North America and in mid 2017 in Japan:

However maybe what Sony meant by ending productions was storing PS3's in warehouses? I don't know, There is no region that ended production in June of 2016 so I just find it weird.
