AUSTRALIAN Wii LAUNCH: Gamespot Coverage
Posted on Thursday, December 07 @ 13:17:12 EST by mrnintendo

Well it took a day to get through, but the reviews of the Australian Wii launch are here! And apprently it was a relatively quiet launch...
We start with Gamespot's review...

The Nintendo Wii landed in Australia last night with more of a restrained cheer than a bang, with only a few hundred Australian gamers lining up at midnight launches held in retail stores across the country.

The largest group of Nintendo fans was the 200-strong crowd that gathered at EB Games at Chadstone, Melbourne, Victoria. In Sydney, New South Wales, the largest turnout was at EB Games in Chatswood, where more than 60 gamers attended the store's midnight launch.

More than 60 people gathered outside EB Games at Chatswood, Sydney.

The Wii's sedate launch was in stark contrast to the Xbox 360's Australian launch in March this year. Microsoft organised a massive street party for its next-generation console, with Sydney's main shopping mall closed to all but the thousands of customers who came to get their hands on the 360.

Nintendo Australia has yet to release sales estimates for the Wii launch. However, GameSpot AU spoke to several retailers who said that while preorders were strong, plenty of units were still available for walk-in customers over the next few days. The Wii retails for AU$399.95 ($314) down under.

The Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 will have the next-generation console field to themselves for the next few months in Australia. Sony's PlayStation 3 is not slated for release down under until March 2007.
