News \ PS3 Outsells Wii and 360 in Australia!

Last week, Nintendo Australia was shouting from the rooftops about the success of the Wii in the country, with the console becoming the fastest to reach 100,000 units sold down under. Now Sony Computer Entertainment Australia (SCEA) has gone on the offensive, with managing director Michael Ephraim saying the PlayStation 3 has been the number one-selling next-gen console in the country since its launch, outselling the Wii and the Xbox 360 almost every week.

In my opinion: "The beast is on top!!"

I agree with GS - everyone is entitled to like their own piece of gaming machniery... get over it, the PS3 rocks.

People who want the Wii 9such as myself) just want ti for the "fun aspect.

And 360 - well, people just hate the company and not the product, but given the 3Billion MS is willing to spend to fix it, well. 'nuff said.

The Xbox 360 has now sold 181,561, the Wii is at 106,538, and the PlayStation 3 has sold 54,728 units life to date.

I've been trying to tell these guys that sales aren't important for ages... but the thing is, Sony are lying to you, not directly, but they're covering up the truth by only telling you the sales that are happening right now, rather than comparing the consoles when they were first released. It's extremely unfair. In reality, sales if they were compared at their releases would be going Wii, 360 and PS3 last. Sony don't want you to know that! But who cares anyway...

lol I’m not gona get in to a debate here.
I mean it doesn’t really matter who is "winning" dose it I’m just happy that the gaming industry as a whole is doing really well.

But if you want to look at the latest Australian figures

True Longarms man, and dont forget Heavy Rain & 8 days (even though they are slated for next year)

Those 2 will be huge hits.

Longarms, i've always liked your opinions man

Totally agree with you Stonecold, and im guessing you know why

Same standinsid man, if gamers want to experience Tekken 6, Gran Turismo 5, Final Fantasy XIII & Metal Gear Solid 4, they are just going to have to purchase that PS3 and leave their whining at the door.

standinsid says:  

If you seriosly look at it, is sony really losing? I believe there are just more GAMERS now instead of drop in sales, ie more girl/kids getting wii.

When Tekken6 comes out the ps3 sales will go up, you cant have a tekken 6 on wii ok?

Look at the badass gfx? so puurty.

And when GT5 comes out, even more GT fans will get PS3, if u look at the gfx for Formula1, imagine GT5... wow.

I got my resident evil 4 on wii last night, the gfx is so so crap ><

For a $1000 dollars your paying for the technology inside the machine and is still relatively new like all new things that come out on to the market you pay (FULL PRICE) to have it first not for the great games at the moment, but that will change in a few months, Heavenly sword Burnout paradise, Assassin's creed, Stranglehold, and clive barker's jericho plus many more. I'm not surprised by this news because its following the ps2 path. If anyone has any doubts of what the PS3 is capable of look no further then Motorstorm for a launch title its pretty impressive and think in a few years time what the PS3 full power can achieve. Exciting stuff

I think it’s great that the ps3 has sold more units every week than wii and the 360 since it was released.
for a console that is $1000 that’s very impressive in my books.

callan5 says:  

Iddqd of course sony would be last if all machines were released at the same time...its called $1000 price tag, if they were all the same price, i guarantee you right now, PS3 would not be "dead last"

ps3fanboi mind your language man or it will be a ban

You have been warned.

iddqd says:  

No it's not on top. What Sony failed to do is compare the consoles to when they're first released, of course a brand new console will sell more than one that's been out for a year... if all three consoles were released at the same time, PS3 would be dead last.
