Fresh from the record-breaking release of Halo 3, the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system continues to remain Australia's number one gaming platform.
According to the GFK figures for October, Xbox 360 was the best-selling console hardware for the month, repeating its September success with another very strong showing.
"Halo 3" also remained Australia's number one game, selling more copies and generating more revenue than any other title across all formats. In addition, Australians spent more dollars on Xbox 360 hardware, software and accessories than on any other platform.
David McLean, Australian Xbox Director, says, "We have maintained our momentum throughout October and with the blockbuster range of titles we have coming in November and December, Xbox 360 is primed to finish the year on a very successful high."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
that a country that is 360 dominating and that blu-ray is winning
is winning everywhere.
Crikey!!!
cant get enough of them!
more sale figure posts please!!!
MORE!!!!!!
has spiked 360 sales in more than just the US. Halo seems to be big in most of the markets except for Japan.
I also read in other articles that console and software pricing is outrageous in Australia. Some games upwards of $100 dollars, or some inflated number.
