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. 



Cool, maybe ps3 is at 6M after all.

Well, even Africa needs video games!



I've located annual figures for Fiscal Year 06 (July 1st 2005 - June 30 2006) for PS2 and PSP:

PS2: 151,000 YTD (536,000 LTD June 30 2006)
PSP: 46,100 YTD + LTD (Launched Q4 2005)
UMD Sales: 38 000

Incidentally, all figures in this thread are "shipped", as in sold to retailers, not customer.
