In an interview published in the latest Edge magazine, Maguire states: "by the time [Edge] goes to press we'll be at around about 500,000 PS3 sales in the UK, and through Christmas we'll take that well through the million mark".
Elsewhere in the interview, Maguire is positive about another thorny PS3 problem - games. He believes that "we're in the period of crossover now, where people will start to develop on PS3 as the lead [platform] if they're multiformat", as opposed to the current tradition where the majority of multiplatform games begin life as Xbox 360 developments.
