19.) Wii Play (Wii, Nintendo) Ditto for this; it has never been this low

    looks like crisis core is the PSP’s golden goose.

  • Will

    Looks like PSP got a few great games out this month. I wouldn’t say this was upsetting info though. If you look at the games on the list they are roughly a lot of PSP and NDS titles (what’s wrong with a little competition finally?). I think most disturbing for Sony is that their only title on that list is a golf game?!? Is that even right? And where is the 360? What country is the chart for?

    “Duracell” Bunny?

  • T

    What kind of retarded sensationalism is this? So a NEW product comes out, and in it’s first week it sells better then the DS in a week? A DS? A system that has been out for years? Gee, that’s news!
