PS3 Set To Overtake Wii and Xbox 360 In Australia (?!?)

How much does the ps3 cost in australiar compared to the wii?

The Wii retails for around $380AU (with WiiSports), or around $420 (depending where) with WiiSports + some other game (usually not a great one).

The PS3 (40Gig) is $699 (with no games). I'm not sure if the other models are still being sold. 

There used to be a $899 PS3 that was the 60Gig + 2 games + extra controller (not sure if still around).

The 360 (premium) pack is around $580AU, and comes with three (?) games and a bunch of other stuff.

...

Wii games range from $40-$60 (cheapies), to $80 (normal price in most places) to $100 (at ripoff joints like EB).

Most PS3 games are either $100 or $120 - with some at $80 (older ones).

...

The telling thing is the TV advertising here. When the GC was out, there were NEVER TV ads - except occasional ones when Sunshine was released (etc). I regularly see Wii ads on TV *every* day. PS3 has a heap of advertising around Xmas as well, but seems to have dried up recently - although Sony is now pushing BluRay HARD in lots of places.
