Sony PlayStation 3 sales in Australia have topped the 150,000 mark, falling shy of the company’s October forecast of 160,000 units sold in the region by the end of 2007.
Research firm GfK Australia has revealed that total sales in the territory have reached just over 155,000, with 48,000 having been sold within the fourth quarter of 2007, thanks largely to the introduction of the cheaper 40GB model (AUD 699.99)
Elsewhere, the PlayStation Portable sold 45,000 units during the 2007 holiday season, with PlayStation 2 sales even more impressive, selling 81,000 units in the same period.
