Playstation 3 Number 1 Console in Australia

Sony Computer Entertainment Australia has confirmed that PlayStation 3 has hit the number 1 spot for home console sales in 2011.

Official NPD Group Australia data from retailers nationally shows that PS3 sales in Australia currently represent the highest number of home console units sold and also the highest value share delivered for calendar year to date in 2011.

Michael Ephraim, Managing Director, Sony Computer Entertainment said “PlayStation 3 sales have hit number one in Australia because of the full entertainment offer PS3 provides at exceptional value, plus the rich, immersive HD gaming experiences we continue to deliver".

Also in Sony News, the critically acclaimed series Uncharted will hit stores nationally on November 3, 2011.

Developed exclusively for PlayStation 3 by the team at Naughty Dog Inc., Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception will deliver the cinematic scale, adrenalin rushes, thrills and mystery that are the Uncharted trademark; together with its unique and enhanced multiplayer experience.

"The entertainment launch of Uncharted 3 will be an adrenalin rush –as this blockbuster title really blurs the boundaries between games and cinema. It’s set to be an epic adventure for PlayStation leading into Christmas!” said Mr. Ephraim.

The journey propels fortune hunter Nathan Drake on a daring trek from the mean streets of London, through a burning French chateau, and into the heart of the Arabian Desert, a journey that pits him and his mentor Victor Sullivan against the occult treachery of a shadowy clandestine organisation and its ruthless leader, Katherine Marlowe.  

When the terrible secrets of this lost city are unearthed, Drake’s quest descends into a desperate bid for survival that strains the limits of his endurance and forces him to confront his deepest fear.

We can't wait to get a hold of this game. It should be a ripper.
