1 week and DS will hit 50 million

Yes, DS will pass 60m by the end of the year in just 3 years which is a record that is unlikely to be beaten (challenge there for Wii).

I think we should put together a press release again if people would be interested, the last one is fun and we should put out good news.

Other stuff we could do:

- Halo 3 week one sales
- PS3 reaching 5 million
- Wii > 360 + PS3
- PSP passing 25m

Plenty of ideas...

Don't go releasing too many while people are only starting to accept the validity of the site. Especially don't do anything like Halo 3 week 1 sales, when week 1 sales have been probably the biggest weak point in your data collection. Microsoft will have their own (slew of) press releases regarding Halo 3 sales anyways.

And I don't think having press releases for everytime a big mark like 5M, 10M, 25M, 50M etc. is broken is a good idea. You already missed a couple 10M marks recently already.

Maybe one showing how the all-time hardware chart has changed since March/April would be cool, and it would sum up a lot of big ones both that you missed recently and that are coming up soon...
