Sony's Andrew House has confirmed that the company still aims to sell 15 million PlayStation 3s in the year ending March 2012, despite a turbulent year for the company.

The head of Sony Computer Entertainment made the comments to Reuters, and revealed that sales on the console were ahead of target.

He would not reveal Sony targets for the new PlayStation Vita handheld.

The PS3 news comes despite a number of setbacks for the company, with hacker attacks in April that shook consumer confidence and shutdown the PlayStation Network Store and the devastating effects of the Japanese earthquakes in July.
