The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
According to the NPD group the top ten games for 2007 were shared reasonably evenly across the major players in the U.S.
Topping the list – and really no surprise is Halo 3 for the Xbox 360, selling 4,820,000 Master Chiefs. Now that developer Bungie have broken away from Microsoft, it is not too hard to image them hard at work at a multiplatform game to further cash in on their Xbox exclusive.
The rest of the top ten looks thus;
2.Wii Play with remote (Wii) - 4,120,000
3. Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360) – 3,040,000
4. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS2) – 2,720,000
5. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) – 2,520,000
6. Pokemon Diamond (DS) – 2,480,000
7. Madden NFL 08 (PS2) – 1,900,000
8. Guitar Hero II (PS2) – 1,890,000
9. Assassin’s Creed (Xbox 360) – 1,870,000
10. Mario Party 8 (Wii) – 1,820,000
Sure, Sony would love to see a PS3 title up in the top ten in 2008, but given the continued popularity of PS2 titles it would be churlish to complain.
With a number of blockbusters on the horizon – one of which is the next iteration of the Grand Theft Auto franchise – 2008 will surely build even further on the 34 percent increase in software sales (up to US$8.64 billion) the U.S saw in 2007
