Sony reminds us that the Sony PS3 has already been on the market in the United States for one year - boy, time flies.

Sony says that in the PS3's first year, more than 200 software titles have been released for PS3 and more than 60 million pieces of content have been downloaded from the PLAYSTATION Network worldwide.

"When we designed PS3 our goal was to introduce a system so technically advanced that it could stand the test of time and could take the industry in a whole new direction, which for PS3 was high-definition entertainment," said Jack Tretton, President and CEO of SCEA. "While we're excited by the progress we've made this first year, we know that like our other platforms, the best is still yet to come, especially given our new hardware and software line-up, and that PS3 will continue to take the industry to new heights for years to come."

Sony even sent out PS3 birthday cakes to members of the press. Engadget got one.

Sony seems to be on the right path with the PS3. After the price-cut sales surged and the new 40GB Sony PS3 is in stock and priced ok. The Nintendo Wii through its always low stock has opened the door for PS3 sales even further.
