Big friggin deal. I bet that the PS3 is also a huge hit in Topeka Kansas.
One country like Australia means diddly squat. New York has more people and
is more of an economic force than all of Australia combined.
Specific "cherry picked" markets like Australia, Topeka Kansas or Southern
Bushtamboo don't mean a thing. It's the overall world-wide market that
matters. An when it comes to world-wide markets the Sony PS3 is a DISASTER.
That's why game companies are reducing PS3 game developement by 40% while
nearly doubling game development for the Wii.
Live with it.

- "Japanese video game makers want to make the Nintendo Wii their major
priority, which meand more bad news for the underperforming Sony PS3. Game
makers such as Capcom, Namco Bandai and Sega all plan to increase the number
of games for the Wii, Capcom will increase their number by 5%, Sega by 96%
and Namco Bandai is set to increase their games for the Wii by 109 per cent.
The PS3 is set to see a reduction in games by at least 40 per cent, this is
a huge blow for the PlayStation 3. The reason for this is due to the
Nintendo Wii selling by the bucket load."
