Following the iGEA's announcement

by Minhua Gou guwen Following the iGEA's announcement, Sony and Microsoft both used the opportunity to reveal their respective positions during Buy Runescape Gold 2010. Since its launch in 2007, the PlayStation 3 has sold more than 1.1 million consoles in Australia, according to industry trackers GfK Australia. According to Sony, the PS3 dominated local hardware sales, making up 26.5 percent of the total value share for all console sales in the region last year--the highest percentage share of any manufacturer.

Sony's other consoles, the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, now have a total lifetime install base of 2.6 million and 675,000 units in Australia, respectively.
PlayStation 3 games accounted for 26.7 percent of the software market in Australia, with the PS3 boasting a game-to-console attachment rate of just over 10 games per console.
By comparison, Sony's Redmond-based competitor, Microsoft, declined to offer any Australian-specific hardware details in its release, revealing only that the Xbox 360 experienced its biggest year to date in 2010 and saw a 20 percent increase in total sales over 2009. Microsoft Australia declined to confirm total Xbox 360 sales to GameSpot AU, stating that it "does not release regionalized data." Riot Games is well known for creating the free-to-play real-time strategy League of Legends, which is currently open for play on Southeast Asia servers. The company recently announced that Tencent Holdings Limited, China's largest Internet service provider, had taken a majority stake in the game development company.
