Ever wondered just what the Australian gaming public are buying? We've got the latest charts for you that will give you all the details you need to know, for all the major platforms.
This time around, it's good to see some things are a little shaken up, while others have just returned to their old, familiar patterns. Most of the Australian buying public is interested in learning how best to use their Wii-mote, the temptation of Patch 3.1 has seen a large numbers of PC gamers relapsing into their old MMO habits, Xbox 360 gamers are checking out a more modern type of war ahead of the newly-announced sequel's release, PS3 are off battling the Helghast once again, while their PS2 counterparts continue to rock out with Freddie and pals. The DS gamers among us prefer to exercise their grey matter, but the PSP looks like they're jonesin' for some sort of infection. Hmm.
