Errr ?
The ranking of most of those guys is mainly dependant on how the stock market performs.
Most of the top guys actually have most of their assets in one company( more than 50% for those in the top 10) so how they rise and fall is stricly dependant on how well the stock of that company does.
So I'm not sure at all what you meant by that comment....
The main reason why there are more americans in the top 20 than last year is that the US stock market ( which dropped like 43% in 2008) actually dropped less than some others market ( Russia stock market absolutly tanked and the Mexican stock market had a terrible year too).
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
