Fallout 3 passes classification

Importing will harm local sales, and there's no easy way to monitor how many people are importing, so to an uninformed observer of the industry, it would appear videogames are losing popularity, selling less, and are not worth putting money into.

Theorise a massive increase in the percentage o people who import a majority of their games here:

Local retailers will have less customers, and less sales of videogames, meaning price rises. Now of course, people here would still be buying games, from foreign stores, online, but keeping track of the sales to every australian from online stores all over the world is far from feasible, so rather than people seeing 2 lists, one of local sales, declining, and one of imports, rising, there will only be a chart showing a decrease in the sales of games in Australia.

I don't disagree with importing, I do it myself, and will probably try my luck doing it with Fallout 3 on PC, as its not like you get anything additional for the extra cash paid here, but it doesn't help the local industry, and won't make local businesses think "Oh hey, these folks on the internet are importing their games instead of buying them locally, we should lower our prices 'n' stuff lolz", they'll just see that sales are going down, meaning they don't have to buy as much stock anymore to keep up with demand, and unit prices will rise.
