Prepare the doom drums!

I'm looking forward (I think) to see how well the 3DS, NSMB2 and KH:3DDD performed according to NPD. And for some reason I get the feeling that The Last Story won't be in any Top 10.

This week already? It's usually on the second Thursday of every month.

It's usually the second Thursday after the end of the tracking period which is August 25 in this case.

This also means that September will be 5 weeks.
