Its only because they are anticipating the PS4, which until the Wii was rumored to use the following controller:

Australia's always been a Sony nation. Just about everyone I know has/had a PS2, so it's most likely that the masses of Playstation 2 owners are going to jump at the Playstation 3 like rabid dogs. And they have.

that same can be said about the ps3 costing £400 here in england. that's nearly $800 going by todays exchange rate. i dunno how well it's selling over here. i don't particularly care either.

if it's sold more over the last 3 months doesn't that naturally mean it's sold faster?

good for australia. And for all those people. and ill complain all i want. IS the PS3 worth 600 bucks for only 2 AA exclusive games on gamerankings. for only like 3 or 4 AA exclusive games on gamespot. When majority of all the good PS3 games are on 360, the 600 price tag is a B***H. Even the wii has more exclusive AA-AAA games than the PS3. Will i buy a PS3 sure for MGS 4. and if i have a HDTV id want a bluray player. but overall its not that compelling of a videogame system yet. Maybe in the holiday season. But right now at that price tag to me its just not very compelling.

I don't see why Sony being successful should come as a surprise? People are forgetting that these consoles launched a mere 7 months ago,nothing is certain at this point nor will be certain until-at the very earliest- mid 2009.

http://kotaku.com/gaming/ps3/ps3-outselling-wii-and-360-in-oz-273667.php Observing that article closer, Gfk (mistake of my behalf - listed as Gtk [a marketing research group]) supposedly provided the sale figures according to Sony, but I doubt they'd lie about something like that. You don't just casually lie about sales figures and state a source.

Doubt it. Not many people know about the 360 here and even if they do they don't care about it too much. Mainly cos they don't know what games the 360 has.

Yes. The poor shelf presence for the Gamecube astounded me when I came here three years ago. Considering how many people have never heard of the GC, the Wii is doing incredibly well.

It's not so much brand loyalty in Australia (although it does play a part) that equals sales, it's the fact that the vast majority of gamers in Australia are the kids (who charge around EB Games squawking like a rabid possum and subconsciously inviting me to asphyxiate them with a plastic bag) and the teenage to young adult casuals - that's why you'd be hard pressed to find a game that's not some iteration of Buzz or Singstar or Eye-Toy (and so one) that breaches the Top 10 Best Selling in Australia.

Australia has one of the best teams in the world at NRL. The state of Origin is usually bigger than international matches lol.

First of all my original post was the modified lyrics of Australia by the Manic Street Preachers and secondly when I said football I meant soccer in which case I am referring to football.

This threads turned nasty I'm leaving.

if it's sold more over the last 3 months doesn't that naturally mean it's sold faster?

No. If they all launched at the same time.. its sold slowest over its first 3 months. (I think.. the Wii would have reached 50k in a month, it launched just before Christmas and sold 34k in a weekend). And the Wii only sold just slightly faster then the 360.

Better than Being a RED NECK

Um no. I think being a Red Neck is an upgrade from an Assie. ofcourse thats like pick ur poison. Now an Ausie beats a redneck. but we are debating assie and redneck.

So u think u better than Australians do u

well im no redneck. Im a New Yorker. and as a proud American and a proud New Yorker Im not gonna back down from some Australian kid who sounds like hes drunk or something. Calm the F down. No body said anything bad about Australia. Id personally love to go on vacation there. But im not gonna have somebody wether hes Australian, Canadian, Dutch, British, French, Russian, Indian, Jessica Alba think they are better than Me. F U im not letting anyone think they are better than me based on ther Country of birth. Well maybe Jessice ALbe but only because i wanna have sex with her.
