At the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas today, Sony announced that the Playstation 3 gaming console has sold more than one million units in North America. It took only 6 weeks to hit this milestone.

Plagued by delays, the PS3 was released on Nov. 17, with units selling out in minutes. Those looking to buy one may have been forced to pay more than twice the unit price through online auction site EBay.

“Reaching the one million mark for PS3 is the first of many major milestones for us as we head into a new year. Even more impressive, is that we were able to accomplish this feat while successfully managing two other platforms-PS2 and PSP,” said Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.

“With three PlayStation platforms now available to users, 2007 will be about software and delivering innovative, new experiences and award-winning franchises to consumers, both through retail and through our online Playstation Network.”

If you’re attending CES, Sony has a handful of games and new products available on display at their booth.
