I was going to post this but seeing I'm new and all. I thought nah. So I posted it on ps forum in au. I do believe it, as I am an Aussie :D Sony is dominate in Oz and once Blue Ray gets out into the wider community, we will see the ps3 soar. I show all my friends and family Blue Ray and they get excited about it. We don;t have many hd dvd around so the main focus is Blue Ray. The ps3 is the cheaper option atm. So I think that side of the ps3 will be a major factor in ps3 sales. Also as the artical says. Harvey Norman ( major multi-store) is selling ps3 as blue ray players.

did you even read what the above people said, particulary ioi / mrstickball

 No not really.  Just skimmed it. Is that how you treat newbies? I'm not here to read every post. I do believe the majority of the ps3 sales have been by gamers compared to blue ray players. Ayways just imo.

End of 2011 Sales: Wii = 90mil, 360 = 61mil, PS3= 60mil

ckmlb on 29 June 2007

According to this article, Sony has outsold the Wii and 360 on a weekly basis except for the last week when the Wii outsold it. It says that the Wii stands at 100k in Australia since launch in December, while PS3 is at 50k since launch in March.

With 50,000 units sold since March, Sony is ecstatic to exclaim that PS3 is the top selling system in Australia and has been outselling the Wii and Xbox 360 every week.

"Based on GfK since launch, PS3 has been the number one next-gen console, outselling Wii and Xbox 360 every week, except for last week."

The Wii has sold twice as many units, but has been out since Dec. 7. The PS3 has been consistently selling more units each week since its March 23 launch (except for last week according to Ephraim).

So they aren't exactly spinning, they are saying it is the weekly sales of the PS3 surpassing the 360 and Wii since the PS3 launcb in March 23 with the exception of last week.

They didn't say the PS3 has sold more in total than the Wii, they are saying it was selling at a weely rate higher than the Wii until recently.

If this doesn't count as anything then why do you look at the numbers in the US and say the Wii is selling at a faster rate than either console? The fact is weekly sales do matter, but it could also be that the PS3 has reached the point where Wii will start outselling it weeekly now. 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

Fanboys don't need to read. Anything that Sony says is fact and does not need to be verified.

Yes its true said by the official ps myspace blog, the ps3 has outsold BOth the wii and 360, and Ive noticed something in sales numbers the wii sales have been slowly DROPPING along with 360 sales, and the ps3 sales are slowly RISING, my signature isnt so krazy after all is it?

Usually, when you are on a forum, yes, you read every post, especially the ones made by mods cause they know a lot =)
