A likely reason for lack of sales in Australia would be the price!!

I Don't have Sim City simply because of this.  Damned if I'll pay $A89 for
a GAME.  If Sim City was priced at a reasonable level over here, I WOULD
have bought it (I have seen it running on someone else's machine).  Most 
other companies are able to keep games software to an acceptable level above 
the US price, why is Sim City approx triple?  Greed, thats why.

Tell your friends at Maxis that, Allan.  
Simply put, if it was cheaper, I'd have bought it.
