Forums - Sales - PS3 reaches 1.1M units Down Under.

Following the iGEA's announcement, Sony and Microsoft both used the opportunity to reveal their respective positions during 2010. Since its launch in 2007, the PlayStation 3 has sold more than 1.1 million consoles in Australia, according to industry trackers GfK Australia. According to Sony, the PS3 dominated local hardware sales, making up 26.5 percent of all console sales in the region last year--the highest percentage share of any manufacturer. As of press time, Sony was unable to confirm how many of the units represented sales, and how many were given away as part of its Bravia television and other similar promotions.

Sony's other consoles, the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, now have a total lifetime install base of 2.6 million and 675,000 units in Australia, respectively.

PlayStation 3 games accounted for 26.7 per cent of the software market in Australia, with the PS3 boasting a game-to-console attachment rate of just over 10 games per console.

Ask me about being an elitist jerk

Time for hype

Too bad M$ didn't just give out a number...  But, if you look at what was said, they had 700k sold by 2009 and their year on year sales went up 20%, they could be very close to PS3 #'s.  Either way, looks like Australia is up for grabs...

So, they are probably at 1.3-1.4 Million then?  I am sure that something will slip out in the next couple of months.

Because there are no indications, those figures are likely coming from Microsoft, so they are shipped/sold to retailers. Here Sony numbers are coming from GFK Australia, which is sold to consumers.

Btw 10 games/console is fucking huge.
