Canada is not the the 3rd biggest market, not even close.

EDIT our prices were that high before our currency became stronger so I suppose if people still buy the games then why would they drop the price?

I know we were third years ago. Thats why Nintendo Of Canada was born because Nintendo Of America couldn't handle covering both Mexico and Canada. I don't know what the figures are today, I don't even know where I could find out Canada's numbers. But considering our population size I could definatly see us not ranking top three anymore.

In Canada Wii games launched at 59.99$ and 360 games were 69.99$ while in the US games were about 10$ cheaper. However a year and a half ago our dollar rose above America's for the first time in decades and when it stayed above a few months game prices dropped. They have remained down ever since even though our dollar dropped again but it has rebounded multiple times over the last few years.

Anybody know if anything but supply demand and localization that might be the cause for such high prices in Australia?

I'm pretty  sure Britain is a bigger market for video games. I read once they buy the most games per person. I have no sources for that though.
