For comparison when PS3 launched in March on the same date as Europe it sold nearly 10,000 in the first week.

Yeah I saw that there were PS3 owners in SA (With folding home I saw lights over there).


Very few are online in SA, though. The link in the first post says only 2,000 are online, and 25,000 offline.

 

I think SA market should be most similar to the Australian market, but smaller. PS2 sales are around 1/3 in SA of AU sales, 700K Vs 2.1M (probably closer to 2.2M now), and PS3 around 1/4 at 27K Vs 100K. Just for fun we could try to very roughly estimate 360 figures at 2/7th of GfK Australian figures.

Edit:

Those estimates for Wii and 360 were pointless as Wii hasn't been officially released in SA, and 360 released a year later in SA than it did in Australia, so I've removed them.
