"Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: Spec III"

What's this? A new version of Prologue? This franchise is a true cash cow.

In Japan money is definitely not the issue, sadly it's not the same for the rest of the world

PS3 does best out of the home consoles in terms of most software sold, out of the top 20.

It almost sold as much software as the Wii too! (590K vs 780K).

lol. Given the difference in user base, thats actually pretty good. Although only because the PS3 had a lot of big releases in Nov.

And the Wii didn't? AC accounted for over half its sales. The Wii is really slowing down now in Japan, both HW and SW wise. It is actually less dominant there than in Americas!
