Any months where the Wii is not on the top of the hardware list is a good one

PS3 Bioshock 2 didn't crack the top 10.

The first game was exclusive on the 360 for like a year, and didn't even sell well when it was ported over. Hard to expect people to just jump on board for the sequel, which by most accounts, isn't even as good as the first.

MW is still a sales beast even this far past release and i'm surprised to see Dante's inferno so high for both systems as i don't know many people who bought it but obviously people are.

I wonder if the Heavy Rain numbers are good enough to get a sequel?

That's only for a few days, the true numbers will come from this month.

it's interesting that Dante's Inferno sold better on the ps3, given that God of War 3 was right around the corner. It wasn't much, but I expected it to be far tilted towards the 360, and so did EA.

It had additional content the 360 doesn't....same way they did GTA series, thats why it sold better on one console than the other.

Some people have both consoles and now PS3 has trophies, so it's like getting achievements...lol
