Forums - Sony - PlayStation 3 Selling Strong Down Under

Menago KF on 30 July 2008

Auron.....no wonder the PS3 is selling a lot if Sony is giving more than 60K units away for free (and that's within the last 7 months). I wonder how much the Wii and xbox would have sold if such giveaways were to take place thnx to Nintendo and MS ?

Cherrypicking all the way.



Huh. Who would've thought that beggining anew in my real life would coincide with starting anew on vgchartz?

Any day now, the dollar will be worth less than 2 zloty......any day now.....and my life savings will be in total jepordy ;(.

Wii is too expensive here. So is the PS3, but clearly PS has momentum running off the PS2. That and the interesting fact that PS2 is out selling almost everything often.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

@Auron

oh noeeesss!! I made a mistake in my math somewhere after 1 in the morning while being drunk, ohh noeees. Seriously, that's the best you can throw at me? Please.

And my point still stands. we have(if these numbers are correct) almost 400k of ps3's sold. We do not know for certain if those ps3's given away last christmas or the 35k given out till the end of July are/will be counted.

If those numbers will be included...well that would only mean that almost 15% of all the ps3's in Australia were given away for free. And that is quite a lot considering the size of the market.
