Australia and the wii and ds rulz. 360 popular but ps3 and psp are laughed at.

shrimpy_boy 11: in australia nintendo advertises heaps but you dont see ms or sony ads at all.

still hate how games take forever to get to countries that dont seem to make matter. maybe i should move to the US

wow really thats the complete opposite here. Halo 3 was bashed to our TV's nation wide and on the News, Heavenly Sword was played a million times and now we keep getting Call Of Duty ads for PS3/360. And we keep getting those "seeing is believing" ads for PS3 and now there is a PS3 ad with this chick dancing in bright blue skin tights (weird). Theres nothing on for the Wii and DS. sorry for my constent whinging.

 I suppose NZ is such a tiny country it doesnt matter really lol

I'm from Ireland (republic) which is very like the UK market

In handhelds ds is well ahead but psp has a ok fan base

Ps3 is far behind and the top spot is being battles between 360 and wii but seeing as how the wii is sold out everywhere Id say the wii most definetely has it

ps2 still has to much store space

I'm in the US, and it bugs the crap out of me, because everywhere I go I see Hal.! It's all Halo Halo Halo! On Mountain Dew bottles, on t-shirts, on cardboard cutouts in stores. Everytime my friends talk about gaming, it's usualy about Halo. Whenever my friends want to get together and play something, it's Halo.

And if it's not Halo, it's CoD4, GeoW, or Source. Out of all those, Source is the only one I play semi-regularly.

I swear I'm the only person in the US that doesn't salivate over shooters.  Also, you can see why the 360 sells so well here. ^^

Sounds like you need some new friends.  Don't know if it's just my part of the country, age group, demographic or what... but of my friends that like videogames... they actually like a varied genres of games.

I live in Romania ... the PS brand is the strongets from all , the PSP is much more popular than the DS , but because of HUGE piracy issues you wont see many original games on shelves . Still , the PSP at least has a shelve ... :P

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Now that Rudd is Prime Minister my country sucks.

Australia seems to favour the Wii and obviously the DS, 360 is more popular here than other countries too.
