Sony had previously sold 165,000 units in the UK in two days, which compares well against 105,000 Nintendo Wii consoles and 70,000 Xbox 360 consoles. Sony achieved the figure by delaying the European launch by four months, giving itself time to manufacture enough units to avoid shortages seen by Nintendo and Microsoft.
"Yes, 600,000 is the figure for Europe," a spokesperson told Eurogamer.
