Well considering the price is still at a minimum of $699 it is doing phenomenal down under, and as over 2 million PS2'S were sold in Australia to a population of only 20 million, I`m betting the PS3 will do just fine down here.

Geesh. Poor Sony numbers . Never getting the credit it deserves...sigh.

Im not going to complain about that one though. Its not like the 100,000 or so that was missing from US.

10,000 isnt a big deal.

 I don't see anything particularly wrong with it.  He's not bashing anyone in the thread, that isn't really a flame bait comment, and he's not not bashing the PS3.  It's just a silly comment and should be treated as such.

From PS3Vault regarding 2007 sales:

“On the Bravia PS3 offer, we’re now up to 28,000-plus - these are audited numbers from Sony. They have taken about a 30 percent market in flat screens for the month of January off the back of that promotion,” said SCE Australia boss Michael Ephraim.

Recent figures from Sony showed that over 155,000 PS3s were sold in Australia last year, but Ephraim pointed out that the 28,000 units given away in the Bravia deal are not part of this figure, because industry data tracker GfK Australia “doesn’t report on a console if it’s given away free”.

VGChartz is undertracking at 179,469 (16 February 2008), Australian PS3 sales were already 183K back in 2007.


I don't beleive ioi tracked the free ones, but I think New Zealand is included in Australia VGC (roughly 16k), so in all truth he overtracked PS3 sales, but is under for the number of PS3s people have.

 

That is from memory so I could be wrong about not including the free ones.

It depends on how long you have had to see those sort of comment come from him i suppose... It gets rather tiring!

Auron your attitude is not appreciated and not really all that helpful either.
