Third quarter figures are in for Australia, courtesy of GfK data. As expected, the DS Lite ruled the roost for sales July through September, outselling the best-selling home console (PS2) and best-selling next-gen console (Wii) combined. The Wii maintained a healthy lead for the three month period versus its two nearest competitors by taking nearly half of all next-gen home console sales. With the recent news of a major Australian retailer getting in on selling Nintendo products, expect a noticeable boost for Nintendo sales during the upcoming holiday period.

System – Q3 sales (Lifetime sales)
DS Lite – 139,483 (730,076)
PlayStation 2 – 66,228 (2,118,646)
Wii – 61,027 (167,899)
Xbox 360 – 40,467 (222,136)
PSP – 28,374 (317,442)
PlayStation 3 – 27,533 (82,261)
