ok i get it

but MS declined in 2009 numbers,so it's donsen't mean PS3 is ahead now(of coz i don't know)

btw 1.3m?i don't think NZ is that big...

Well it's probably slightly less than 1.3 million if the above number is accurate. I was using that as a ballpark figure. PS3 increased it's install base in Australia by close to 40% in 2010. If it were a similar percantage for NZ it would be around 170k in that territory. Actually looking at the numbers again 360 is probably still ahead. PS3 would have needed to stomp it last year to catch up.

NZ PS3 sales will be around 150K by now, so "over 1.1 million" in Aussie plus ~150K NZ = ~1.3 million or at least > 1.25 million. In any case, given Sony and Gfk are saying over 1.1 million in households in Aussie and VGC has Aussie NZ at 1.12 million then a modest adjustment to VGC numbers would be expected. I think given the uncertainties of the numbers I'd say putting PS3 at about 1.25 million on the Aus/NZ chart would be about right. So, level pegging with the 360. Though I think if anything 360 is slightly undertracked too and is probably still marginally ahead in this neck of the woods.

Hmm, this gives me an idea for a thread...
