I downloaded that video of the worlds' biggest water balloon fight that took place in Australia and i think was set up by Xbox 360. Man, would I have wanted to be there.

With PR stunts like that, it's no wonder 360 is winning down under.

I love this statement. Japan has roughly 6 times more people the Australia, I'd go for the little island.

At last check the 360 was sitting around 110k units compared to the wii at 70k units and the PS2, which still outsells the 360, was on 1.98 million. Can't remember if those numbers were the end of Jan or Feb though but the 360 is doing pretty poorly when you consider 35k of its sales came in 4 days. To add only 70k over the next year shows a significant drop in sales.

Take the right girl to something like that, and I guarantee she'll be asking you to "help her out of these wet clothes" afterward. Seriously, if my wife heard about a record-setting water balloon fight nearby, she'd be the one asking me if we could go.

Playing games doesnt mean you have to sit in front of the TV for 8 hours.

I enjoy games even though I only put in about 1-2 hours a day to play.

Consoles are nice, they're cheap and appeal also to the casual types.

Funny how Microsoft "owns" Australia when sales wise it goes ...
  PS2(2 million) > 360(approx 200k) > Wii(approx 90k) > PS3 ( 0 , hasnt launched)

 Now i garentee you IF PS3 price drops fast enough it WILL win -- PS2 is $229 AU here in Brisbane from K-mart and that is the sweet spot ... PS3 wont be $1000 for long -- i for one am predicting a price drop, offical or unoffical within weeks to $899 AU ( $700 US )

 Otherwise it's a battle between all three .... im afraid the TC dosn't realise the bulk of people do not want a new console yet and they do not want a 360 but want a PS3 (due to brand name) ... only that will hold them back is the price ...

I know a lot of people who play games. Why can't they both play games and surf ect? Anyway MS does not own Australia. Australia was very PS2 heavy last-gen and still are. The Wii was the highest pre-ordered console ever and the 360 is going pretty well. Australians as much as they like the PS2 most aren't that "hardcore" that they will fork out $1000 for a PS3. They got the PS2 because it was cheap with lots of games. Aussies just aren't as gamer heavy as the US or Japan. Well I am but others aren't.
