I don't have the link for it, but wasn't it recently reported by GFK that the PS3 had passed 375,000 in Australia? We still have it near 300k.

Edit: Found it http://ps3.ign.com/articles/894/894612p1.html

Unless we aren't tracking the Bravia giveaway, but even then the PS3 is just now reaching 303k, and this has it at 305k on July 29th.

To be fair: those freebies are probably impossible to track.

And if it's 300k here and 305k according to sony australia, then they're pretty darn close.

They'll update the 75K once it's confirmed I guess.

Yeah, the difference is pretty close so it doesn't really matter. I still wonder if we're tracking the giveaway though.

As in go buy us some coffee.

Unless we aren't tracking the Bravia giveaway, but even then the PS3 is just now reaching 303k, and this has it at 305k on July 29th (not that it really matters, since its such a small difference). I am interested to know if the Bravia giveaway is tracked though.

It's probably due to the PS3 having been previously overtracked do to shipping numbers. Well not previous but during that announcement.

Before they change it they probably want to figure out where they overtracked it.

Yeah, I read this.

608,000 Nintendo DS for month of July - 73% marketshare for hand-helds in July.

555,000 Nintendo Wii for month of July - 49% marketshare for consoles in July.

Also five games made for Nintendo systems placed in the top 10 best-selling games of the month, including Wii Fit™, with 369,603 units sold at No. 2; Guitar Hero®: On Tour for Nintendo DS, with 309,695 units sold at No. 3; Wii Play™, with 284,035 units sold at No. 4; Mario Kart® Wii, with 174,464 units sold at No. 7; and Rock Band for Wii, with 162,886 units sold at No. 8.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
