It's going to be a very merry Christmas for the employees of Nintendo Australia off the back of some stunning sales figures for the region over the past financial year.
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.
Also of note, Wii Music appears to be doing surpringly solid business in Australia too - selling through more than 28,000 copies to date. Wii Fit continues to hold top sales figures for 12 consecutive weeks following launch; and last week, week 46 2008, was the biggest selling week on record for Wii, with Wii selling through more than 35,000 units.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.
I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
With Australia and the weakening currency,the Wii seems to be the best bet
