Got some Aussie numbers too - It's been more than a year since Microsoft launched its Xbox 360, five months since Nintendo debuted Wii, and little more than a month since Sony introduced its PlayStation 3. GfK recently released current sales figures, providing a new insight into the uptake of next-generation hardware in Australia. Despite the $1000 price tag, more than 36,000 consumers have snapped up the PlayStation 3, while 160,000 have bought into the Xbox 360. Wii sits somewhere in the middle, with at least 80,000 units having been sold around the country. Although Nintendo's given no indication of how many Wii owners are connecting their systems to the internet, Microsoft has said that more than half of their installed base in Australia has subscribed to Xbox Live, and Sony said their figure lies at about 35%.
