Xbox 360, Austalia’s fastest selling console ever

Figures have been pouring, sales have been skyrocketing, and revenues are piling, all from the land down under.

Microsoft’s Xbox 360 has notched the best debut ever for a console platform in Australia, with over 30,000 units of the system selling through in the just four days following its March 23rd launch. It seems the four-month delay Australian gamers had to go thru made them more eager to own the game as they crock, I mean, flock video stores.

Figures show that 10,000 consoles were sold right before the midnight of March 23, signifying the Aussie market’s excitement over the machine. Another 20,000 units were bought the following days. Xbox 360’s figures toppled Sony’s PlayStation Portable by 3,000; Sony PSP sold around 27,000 units in four days.

At the rate the consoles are vanishing from videostore racks, it might not be surprising if Australia face the same massive shortage that bothered gamers from North America, Europe and Japan days after its launch.

With the way consoles are being received worldwide, I think its about time we put it among food, shelter and eduaction among the top human basic needs.
