SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT AMERICA ANNOUNCES PLAYSTATION(R) HARDWARE SALES
EXCEEDING 3.9 MILLION DURING HOLIDAY SALES WINDOW
1.2 Million Consumers Join PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(TM)) Family since Black Friday


FOSTER CITY, Calif., January 6, 2008 - Sony Computer Entertainment America
(SCEA) today announced PlayStation(R) hardware retail sales reached more than
3.9 million units in North America during the critical holiday sales window
(Friday, November 23, 2007 to December 31, 2007). This accounts for SCEA's three
systems currently in the market PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(TM)), PSP(R) (PlayStation
(R)Portable) and PlayStation(R)2 (PS2). PS3 retail sales reached 1.2 million
hardware units during this holiday timeframe.

"The PlayStation brand ended the year in a very strong position and clearly
indicates more positive momentum going into 2008. We are particularly pleased to
have sold through 1.2 million units of PS3 during the holiday selling season,"
said Jack Tretton, president and CEO, SCEA. "The strong PS3 sales also further
establish Blu-ray's dominant position as the high-definition medium of choice
for games and movies. Consumers are clearly responding to the expanding
multimedia capabilities and a great line-up of over 200 games."

Sales of PSP reached 1.4 million units during this same timeframe. The success
of the recently introduced DaxterTM PSP(R) Entertainment Pack and Star Wars
Battlefront(R) PSP Entertainment Pack have continued to swell the PSP install
base. Upcoming platform defining software such as God of War(R): Chains of
Olympus and Final Fantasy: Crisis Core will further increase PSP momentum in
2008.

PS2 sales exceeded 1.3 million units during its eighth holiday season. The
industry's most successful platform is poised for another great year in 2008
with the continued success of the critically-acclaimed BuzzTM and SingStar(R)
franchises.
