Xbox 360 to Reach Half a Million Sales in Oz

Microsoft is reporting that, by Christmas day, the company will have sold 500,000 Xbox 360 consoles in Australia since its local launch in March 2006.

This apparently makes the Xbox 360 "the most popular of any High Definition next generation platform" - which roughly translates to "it's sold more units than Sony's PlayStation 3."

The press release also noted that since October, Australians have been flocking in drives to buy games, spending $608 million on gaming gear.

not bad thought they would have sold more by now but , pretty decent sales, the price cut should help out during the holidays.

wii ftw5600d ago

Surely its current gen. When will manufacturers learn.

kwicksandz5600d ago

Not surprising given the price. In aus you can buy a 360 for $20 more than a DS!

And with the ass r@ping sony gives us for both being a pal territory and a small market, well deserved .More than 100$ US equivalent for a DS3??? Ps3 console still $700!!! Tell em his dreaming.

Australia will be getting its own inside xbox soon, hopefully we will get our own video market place in the future as well.

wii ftw5600d ago

Wow. I had no idea the video game scene in Australia was so freaking small. The population is over 21 million, yet there aren't even 1 million Xbox 360 + PS3's there!

UltimateIdiot9115600d ago

Yeah, but the prices there are crazy and look how long Rockband took to get there. Then there is that whole no mature rated game problem.

kwicksandz5600d ago

Yeah we got rockband 1 when World tour was released. No thanks EA i dont want your cast off rb1 instruments for more than double the US price. Shame the game has better songs though....

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC32m ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer1h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B4h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21834h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh3h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia3h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal3h ago

The first game was the best imo.
