Friday, November 22, 07:55 | Talon |
Hardware figures out of Australia aren’t a common thing, with them only being shown when something significant happens but, with the holiday’s around the corner, Australian IT has posted the latest figures. According to data compiled by Inform, PlayStation 2 and Xbox combined managed to sell over 20,000 units this past week. These figures, which were partially attributed to the Xbox bundles, show the hardware breakdown for the week (as well as total hardware figures for the country) as follows:
PlayStation 2: 10,956 (Total: 555,163)
Xbox: 9,972 (Total: 126,111)
GameCube: 1061 (Total: 46,145)
Xbox Live, Selling Out

Xbox Live is popular; it appears to be the understatement of the century today as Microsoft has officially announced that over 150,000 Xbox Live Starter Kits have sold during its first week of availability. The service, which is the first broadband service to surpass 100,000 subscribers, has serviced over 200,000 gamers due to its multiple players on one account feature since release. As a result of the player figures, Microsoft also put forth a few small points of order. First of which being that players have completed more than 5 million games, 500 games per minute, played more than 1 million hours of gameplay (or 114 years) in a week, and more than all games played in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB combined.
Due to the strong sales of the Starter Kits, Microsoft continued to announce that all retail outlets have sold out, but that new shipments are on the way and will continue to ship throughout the holiday season. Moreover, Microsoft stated that Xbox Live-enabled game sales shot up 120 percent during the week, with Xbox hardware sales jumping 18 percent week-over-week.
En resumen, en Australia -por no hablar siempre de los mismos, la xbox vende tanto como la ps2 y 10
vences más que la GC. Y que en USA han vendido todos los kits xbox que tenían en menos de una semana (150.000, comparen con lo de Sony 200.000 en mes y medio) que han subido las ventas un 13% respecto a la semana anterior.
