I have happy for Little Big Planet as it had very few days to sell, shocked Socom made the top 10, those regulars must really be addicts of the game. Xbox 360 being 370k and PS3 only 190k really speaks volumes that the PS3 is screwed, the Arcade must be flying off the shelf and Sony is 2 years away from a $200 console, looks like unless Sony can take big leads in Europe and extend it's lead over 360 in Japan that it'll be a 3rd place console. Weird going from the current best selling console ever to #3, arrogance gets you know where in business , Still amazing that the PS2 after 8 years can put up 100k+ in a month

Wow the PS2 is still doing well and the Wii is still doing really, really well. I'm surprised that Socom got onto the list when neither Saints Row or Fall out 3 on PS3 made it.

Fallout 3 only doing 375k and then whatever PS3 version did pretty much confirms they stuffed the channel and that you'll be able to pick it up for cheap in 2 months, similarly to Soul Caliber 4 being stuffed, except SC4 was only stuffed 2 million, nearly 5 million of Fallout 3 were stuffed.

Fallout 3 flying off shelves - Gamers Forum (http://www.gamers-forum.com/showthread.php?t=9370)

They shipped 4.7 million WW, seeing as it's likely at least 2 million if not more to USA, it obvious there's a lot of copies sitting around somewhere ready to be sold.

lol @ Rock Revolution.

I'm surprised at how low Far Cry 2 is I would have thought it would have made the top 10.

Motorstorm Pacific Rift didn't do well either, I read somewhere it was #28 for the month..no confirmed sources though so take that with a grain of salt
