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 week, gamers have made a few major changes in their purchasing habits, but remained exactly the same in other areas. The best-selling game overall is still one which rewards you for standing still, but the PC has left Azeroth, joining the Xbox 360 in heeding a more modern call to arms. PS3 gamers stay battling the Helghan, but the PS2 is no longer just a karaoke box, preferring quizzes to tunes. The PSP is still resisting, while DS fans apparently prefer the company of penguins to a trip through Chinatown. Interesting.
