While the Playstation 3 is losing ground to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii in North America, it is flying off store shelves in Australia according to Sony Computer Entertainment Australia's managing director Michael Ephraim.
In an interview with Gamespot Australia, Ephraim proclaimed that that Playstation 3 has been outselling both the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii almost every week.
According to Ephraim, the Playstation 3 has sold 50,000 units since its launch March 23, 2007. The Wii, which launched December 7, 2006 has accumulated 100,000 consoles sold.
"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," says Ephraim.
"Since March 23, PS3 has been the number one-selling next-gen console in Australia, and this is GfK figures. We've now sold 50,000--and we're very excited about the fact that it's being sold in retailers that are gaming retailers as a gaming device and other things, but as you'll notice it's now being sold in Harvey Norman consumer electronic stores as a Blu-ray player."
