Edit request on 30 December 2012

For the picture of the Ps3 it should show Ps3 Fat, Ps3 Slim, Ps3 Super Slim, also how the ps3 slim was discontinued - — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZackCannata (talk • contribs) 21:41, 30 December 2012‎ (UTC) [reply]

New final number of units manufactured.

The final number of units made has recently been discovered. Be careful to differentiate it from number of units sold. Source: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/we-finally-know-how-many-ps3-consoles-were-ever-made/1100-6527533/ 180.150.36.42 (talk) 02:26, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Switching between using articles and not using them

The article switches between "The PlayStation 3" and just "PlayStation 3". Regardless of which variant you prefer, it should be consistent throughout the same article in my opinion. Maxeto0910 (talk) 14:52, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
