Simple math: if those 537k were all sold in 2009, then the 360 would be at 1181k (because 537k plus 20% = 644k). But it sold less than 537k in 2009 (because some units were sold in 2008 and 2007), so it is lower than 1.2 millions.

...just 814k-537k=277k x 120%=332k 814k=1146k

The only little error here is the fact PS3 was the best selling console in Australia in 2010... and it sold ~320k (317k)... so 360 sold less than 332k, less than 320k.

Your and my maths are the same...that's the only little difference (PS3 > 360 in 2010 AU).

Edit - Just for clarify.

"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."
