"Since March 23, PS3 has been the number one-selling next-gen console in Australia, and this is GfK figures. We've now sold 50,000--and we're very excited about the fact that it's being sold in retailers that are gaming retailers as a gaming device and other things, but as you'll notice it's now being sold in Harvey Norman consumer electronic stores as a Blu-ray player."

Not so much on iTWire, but on other forums, I copped a bit of a battering for my article on the PS3 focus.  Perhaps the shift from a simple gaming vision to a more holistic entertainment hub spotlight is where Sony should be pouring their effort. (read article here ).

Judging by Ephraim's final comment on PS3 sales above, it looks like this is Sony's thinking also.  More power to them, in marketing it is all about finding your niche and pounding away incessantly.
