Do people think that these (and any form of sales charts) warrant a place in the news section instead? My gut feeling is that they should be there (although maybe consolidated for 'Other' sales for the week?).

MP8 has been receiving a LOT of TV advertising here recently. I was amused to see ads for it on TV (while I was at the gym), just after having finished a mammoth 4-player game.

No idea why Cars is selling - discounted titles = my guess. Spectrobes has done really well here. 

No Xbox 360 and no PS3. Wow. I thought PS3 was "selling much better than other consoles in Australia". Maybe Sony's lying again.

 nice troll job, pretty good flamebait.

Dont worry your a wii fanboy, they wont complain.

MP8 isn't really a surprise. With Big W and JB-Hifi selling it for $20-30 below retail it has definitely been moving there (I was unable to get a copy the other day, but I'm in no hurry).

Cars is really odd. Perhaps you are right about it being on sale, but coming 3rd given how old it is strange.

It would be nice if GfK released the numbers on their site too.

Looks like Nintendo owns Austraila...

I have not seen a MP8 add yet.. what channel????

PS3 was only doing well here on the charts because it only finished it's launch in a not so distant past.

Look at this thread you made before calling other people trolls, troll.

I especially like the title:

Wii lacks quality games, really not a good console for gamers.

The DS & PS2 are doing consistently well - due to the price point (around $200 each).

The PS3 does seem to be doing "comparitively" well - hardware wise at least.

None of these titles are selling large numbers of units, so the top 10 can fluctuate rather easily. Makes it more susceptible to TV advertising and the like.

I have seen a crazy number of Wii (and DS) ads "recently" - by Australian standards anyway. When the GC came out here, we had an intense period of launch ads - then absolutely nothing (except for one major campaign I remember when it came down to $199 in price).

Also saw heaps of PS3 ads - especially around launch (and some recently). Motorstorm had a lot of ads, but for whatever reason the game didn't look particularly good in the ads (more the ads than the game - IMO anyway).

Can't remember having seen any 360 ads - at least for a year or so??

(Ninty seem to have a much more focused release strategy now - giving each major title time to itself, and an ad campaign to itself - and also selling the Wii in general, which seems to be rather easy - WiiSports, Mii creation, etc..).

Can't remember exactly. The gym had all the channels running at once ;)

It was around 8:30pm, and I think either House or Lost was about to start - and probably a week ago now (or even longer). But they had a heap in a row, along with a bunch of Brain Training II ads...

I don't see that comment as overly trollish.  Saying they were lying is a bit much though.  Maybe a lot of people are just buying the PS3 for Blu-Ray.  Or just being more selective with their game purchases for PS3 since the system costs them like 1K.
