Wow, I always thought Australia was X360 territory

Well it is a market where Sony and Microsoft are in a tie i guess.

http://www.psu.com/forums/showthread.php/288303-Microsoft-%C2%93We-won%C2%94-2011-in-Australia-not-Sony

PR is amazing... MS won in Australia when you combine hardware, software and accessories.
Sony won talking about PS3 only.

Last time I found the number for Australia the PS3 was 100k ahead 360 in consoles sold... after that PS3 won every period... I guess the gap is low ~300k.

Proof or didnt happen.

What part? The bullshit Microsoft PR or the numbers from Australia?

About the number...

2011 Sony numbers: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4413816

2010 360 sales: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4414146

PS3 2010: 1.1m
360 2010: 1.14m

PS3 was the best selling console in 2011... so 360 sold less than 380k and 5% more than 2010... so ~350k.

PS3 2011: 1.48m
360 2010: 1.49m

PS3 is up and it's the best selling console in autralia for now... so I'm pretty sure the PS3 already outsold 360 in Australia.

The b****** is about what MS said in that article.

“It’s clear to see that the momentum in this industry is with Microsoft and the Xbox platform. We won at the telling Christmas period, we are standalone in our growth this year and looking at the past five years our consistency is unprecedented,” consumer channels group director David McLean said.
Microsoft said the Xbox 360 was the only platform to show growth in the Australian market, boasting a 5% increase in revenue across software, hardware and peripherals; Sony’s growth claim related to PlayStation 3 consoles only.
2011 marked the Xbox 360′s fifth consecutive year of growth of console sales and platform revenue, and is apparently the only console to do so.
The Xbox 360 was to top-selling consoles over the holiday sales period, and the platform had its most successful month to date during December 2011, and subscriptions for Xbox LIVE grew nearly 40%."

Sony:  "We won 2011 in Australia with PS3 being the best selling console."
MS: "No, Sony not won 2011. We won in holiday and combining software, hardware and peripherals ."

The response from MS to Sony is bullshit.

FACT: PS3 sold more than 360 in 2011 Australia.

I believe the fact you are trying to get at is that the PS3 sold more CONSOLES in 2011 in Australia.

The fact that MS is trying to make is they sold more in TOTAL in Australia.

Seems pretty straight-forward and neither seems like "bullshit" to me.

MS is trying to say in revuneu (software, hardware and peripherals) they sold more than Sony.

The bullshit part is why that a "response for Sony PS3 won 2011"... bullshit PR.

Nonthing changed.... PS3 won 2011 and today have more units in TOTAL than 360 in Australia.

Sony is claiming to win 2011 in console sales in Australia - full stop. Cool, congratulations Sony.

MS is claiming they won 2011 in Australia, because they sold more in total - full stop.  Cool, congratulations MS.

What you don't like then is that MS said that in response to Sony framing thier win as only consoles sold...  OK, got it.



The new model PS3s are out of stock on the EB AU site
