For those living "Down Under" as the term goes, you're probably curious about the PS3 sales numbers from over Christmas. No worries, they've just been released and we're proud to report that Sony seems to be doing well in Australia. Over the holiday, they sold 48,000 units, bringing their entire 2007 sales from 107,000 to 155,000. If you're not good with numbers, that's a significant portion of their annual sales in a month. The PS2 sold about 88,000 units -- and claimed the spot of most consoles sold in 2007. Good job, Australian consumers! Remember -- if you're flying into Los Angeles, try not to take Oceanic Air. That is, unless you want to get marooned on a mysterious island.

This isn't really surprising because hasn't the PS3 always done well in the Land of The Kangaroo?

PS3 is doing okay here, but it's now getting more popular. It's certainly still behind DS, Wii and X360.

Well, I'm an Australian PS3 owner. But I bought my PS3 from the US, where it was nearly half price compared to the OZ model. So I guess I contributed to the US sales figure.

The only thing "Lost" about that TV series, is the plot.
But good news overall.
