Funny, I thought us Australian's were quite common on this site, but apparently not:(



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Australia makes up less than 0.8% of Vgchartz's traffic rank.

Then again, they're more likely to sign up for an account than someone from a Spanish speaking country.

"Speed: Very Slow (92% of sites are faster), Avg. Load Time: 6.7 seconds"

This is a problem that needs to be taken care of.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

MontanaHatchet on 08 November 2007

Yes.

I have a fast connection and this site doesn't even work for me half the time. No wonder the site's traffic rank will barely budge.

I'm sure there are a few Aussies here. But wait I remember... The Aussie market for gamers has no significance towards console counts :P There are only a handful of Aussie gamers... For a small nation I think we have a fair few players... maybe pc online????
