Of course ME 2 only had 5 days. Sad to not see Bayonetta on there.

Sony needs to cut production of the PS2 now and start focusing all efforts on PS3 and getting the PSP on track.

Nintendo continues to steam roll.

Kind of bad to only see 1 PS3 title on that Top 10 list.

Is anything even being released for it anymore aside from the annual sports titles?

It just seems funny that we are now considering it to be "dying" and yet it still sold over 1,000 units a day worldwide.

Again, it just sounds funny.

Sure, I think the Dreamcast was tracked all the way down to monthly sales in the hundreds. Sony will probably just drop it to $50-60 soon before ceasing it entirely, as any ps2 purchase is pure profit anyways.
