"Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: Spec III"

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

 

Pretty well the same version, it's just bundled now in Japan.

I'm very impressed with PS3 HW, especially when I compare it to the Wii's numbers.



4 ≈ One

PS3 is chasing down Dreamcast (280k behind), and 360 is chasing down Neo Geo (180k behind). All the others are in Limbo with nothing above within close range.



Shouldn't the 5th week be in the December charts ??? So we'll count December as a a 4 weeks month??

Also i'd say media create numbers have always seemed more reliable to me.

6 PS3, 2 Wii, 1 360, 2 PSP, 10 DS. Software getting more varied again in Japan.

It's the same game re-released with all of the online updates and content updates.



"We'll toss the dice however they fall,
And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
