Yes, the
Nintendo Wii has been launched in Australia, and unlike some other consoles, it wasn't a couple of months later. Congratulations Nintendo for pulling this off and not leaving us Aussies in the dark ages just that much longer (yes, I'm referring to you Sony and Microsoft who both delayed their launches here compared to the rest of the world).
Haven't heard of any of the crazy violence here unlike the PS3 launch in the States, but if you're after some Wii violence, check out

Unfortunately I've spent my hard earned cash on a 360 in March, so I won't have the ultimate Wii60 system just yet (christmas is coming up, wink wink nudge nudge). The two systems are in a different league anyway, thanks to Nintendo's '
disruptive innovation' so I'm not going to weigh into the 'Wii is better/360 is the best/PS3 kicks arse' debate.
In the mean time, I'll be raiding a mate's place soon given he picked up his console today
. Hopefully there won't be any
tv-smashing incidents, especially when playing Wii Sports Bowling...
