| Shaunodon said: Over here—New Zealand—PS4 is the best-selling console in history. At this point I think our region is just Sony's by right. We're not exactly a massive market, but everyone here is just so familiar with the Playstation brand. I imagine it's similar in Aussie land. Trying to even mention Nintendo just gets me laughed at or outright shunned, and I play on the other systems with people. They're all into their Density, cod etc. and even the ones who admit it's terrible don't quite like them still let others drag them into playing it all the time. 360 was a bit different last gen since Xbox is a bit closer to what people here are comfortable with, although PS3 still remained heavily popular, but I don't think Nintendo will ever be able to get a firm footing in our region. We don't have the same nostalgia bonus for Nintendo that NA does sadly. |
Nintendo actually has a fairly strong foundation here in Aus; by late 2010 Wii had sold over 2 million here and DS over 3 million; we're a country of just 23 million people, so 1 in 10 Aussies bought a Wii (though since a lot of those went into households of 4-5 people, far more than 1 in 10 would've "had" one) and 1 in 8 a DS.
