"Sony Computer Entertainment Australia's managing director, Michael Ephraim, confirmed that Sony was “three to four thousand [units] short of 500,000.” The figure includes 70,000 units given away as part of its Bravia LCD television promotion and puts Sony within striking distance of Microsoft's most recent 537,000-unit sales figure. The company also boasts that 50 percent of the PS3 units sold have been taken online using the PlayStation Network."

Very nice

VG Chartz has the PS3 at 476,000 in Australia, thats pretty damn close.

The PS3 numbers are very close to each other, but I wonder why VGC has the X360 at 691,000 in the Australia region, but the article says 537,000.

 

hmm... the last official numbers from MS are a bit old and out of date would be my guess
