According to Australian newspaper the PS3 install base for Australia is ~185K in 2007 due to Bravia + PS3 combo sales, shouldn't VGChartz include such sales?
Sydney Morning Herald:
"The install base for PS3 in Australia is now 190,000, which includes 30,000 consoles given away with Bravia television sets in a post-Christmas promotion that dramatically lifted sales of Sony's LCD TVs and saw Sony Computer Entertainment scrambling to get sufficient console stocks to satisfy demand."
Smarthouse:
"Sony which grabbed 40% of the LCD TV market in Australia with a free Sony PS3 gaming console offer has jumped from fourth to first place in the US LCD TV market during the fourth quarter of 2007, according to DisplaySearch. "
Note a similar promotion existed for the Netherlands in 2007 as well.
Without this Bravia promotion data included the 360 vs PS3, PS3 sold 155K in ~9-10 months, while the XBox 360 sold 159K (GfK) in 12 months.
