Forums - Sales Discussion - IGN: Nintendo owns Australia

alfredofroylan on 23 November 2008

Acording to IGN Nintendo numbers for Australia are pretty nice:

Independent research by GfK Australia, which supplied the latest figures, has shown that the Nintendo DS currently has an install base in Australia of more than 1.5 million units. According to a press release by Nintendo Australia itself, this makes Nintendo DS the fastest selling console to reach this milestone in 194 weeks. Similarly Wii has reached the milestone of 750,000 units sell through in 102 weeks, making Wii the fastest selling console to hit this mark.

Quite good for a country with a population of 20 millions.

A moment I thought Nintendo used all their profit to buy Australia.

Anyway is their a country that Nintendo doesn't own yet and is owned by a other console?

Ninty has ALOT of money :P

 

I believe the PS3 and Wii are about tied in Italy still

Wii has not been released in China or India, so certainly isn't winning there

I don't know what you're talking about. The Vii is selling like hotcakes in China!

New Zealand and Portugal stand fast against the Wii menace, although both are showing serious cracks. And officially Mexico is 360 country, although it's been a while since I heard that.

Er...that's about it.

The Wii only started getting advertising and marketing this September gone....

So hopefull after the christmas rush... NZ will be poised to become a Ninty country too!

 Sjeez it is 02.40 A.M. don't you need to sleep?  

I think Wii surpassed the PS3 in 2008, the only reason why PS3 won last year was because of the Wii supply issue a issue that they have solved this year.
