Sony Computer Entertainment Australia announced today that the PlayStation 3 has sold 238,000 units in the region since its launch there in March 2007.
The figure puts PS3 ahead of its predecessor in terms of first year sales in the territory, which sold through 146,000 units during its first 12 months on the market.
Additionally, the company also applied a Q3 2008 release date for the forthcoming PlayTV add-on in Australia, a feature that essentially acts as the PS3’s equivalent of a personal video recorder.
