I would think that Japan is heading back to school so things are slowing down. They probably won't see another big release until Christmas time.

You know what I've noticed? EVERY WEEK every hardware sale either increases or decreases together...it's weird.

Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

With only 2 PS3 and 4 PSP games in that top 50, if it were not for the PS2, Sony would be the new Nokia NGage Smilie
