I didn't notice at the time, but I see that last week (WE 27 Nov) PS3 finally cracked 1 million console sales in Aussie/NZ and Scandinavia. The 2 markets, other than UK, in EMEAA where PS3 is in 3rd position behind the 360, and the only remaining territories specifically recorded on the chartz left to reach 1 million.

PS3 won't catch 360 in Aussie/NZ I don't think. But it might catch 360 in Scandinavia eventually.

Another wee milestone for the console that wasn't supposed to sell more than 10 million LTD in the whole world.

It will catch the 360 in Scandinavia for sure, at least going by Norwegian numbers. I assume the other countries have very similar markets. 360 moves less software as well this year in Norway.

The Aussie/NZ PS3 VS X360 is certainly interesting.

Sony actually does a pretty good job of marketing here actually (though Nintendo does it far better).

The PS3 could very well beat the X360 or the X360 will continue to lead. Who knows but it's very possible either way.

It also just reached 250k milestone in Poland ;) Now on the way to 500k which was only ever reached by PS2.

Well I guess PS3 is still selling for a considerably higher price than 360 in both Aussie and NZ. There's a lot of room for movement with PS3, so it would be interesting to see how 360 and PS3 sell if/when the 160Gig PS3 = 250Gig 360 in price. Here in NZ there's still over $100 difference. Arcade Kinect bundle is cheaper than PS3 160 Gig. But I have a feeling PS3 will be more expensive than 250Gig 360 for quite some time yet.

I'm thinking next holidays Sony will do some Bravia TV plus PS3 deals. I wanna upgrade my TV, and get a 2nd blu-ray player. So a 46"Bravia plus PS3 bundle would do quite nicely about this time next year. If only I lived in the USA that Best Buy Bravia plus (gt5 skinned) PS3 plus GT5 deal is amazing.

I just checked ps3 is like 130k behind 360 in AUS.....I dont thinks that out of reach.

For us, the difference between the PS3 160G and X360 250G Price difference was $100 but now it's down to $50 difference and these days there are a lot of bundles from various retailers (holidays or not) that give you games and HDMI cable and sometimes ever Blu Ray Movies for $499 and the X360 has bundles as well priced at $450 I think.

The price has definitely come down for the PS3 in Australia.

In fact the cheapest PS3 Console you can buy these days is $436. The lowest price ever for the PS3 here in Aus.

I just checked again ITS acutally NZ and AUS combined and the GAP is like 140k, I dont think thats significant and can be closed.

You are enjoying a very high value dollar at the moment. Not surprising PS3 has come down in price a bit. Exchange rate-wise at $436 PS3 in Aussie is now cheaper than here in NZ. That wasn't always the case. At $499, if you know somone coming to NZ for the weekend you could get them to buy a $599NZD 160Gig PS3 and bring it back for you. Even better if they buy it duty free.

Actually PS3 would probably be ahead of 360 already but we don't track the PS3s given away for free with Bravia TVs. IIRC PS3 cracked 1 million in Australia alone a few weeks ago.
