Anyway you could do the math so we could get a better idea of how much those titles actually sold?

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

Toshiba needs to just give up. This is sad. lol



Thanks to kenobi after I got him to ban my old account (dallas) after someone hacked into it and being ok with me coming back under a slightly different username.  I appreciate our communication in the PMs.  Also I want to give a big thank you to vgchartz for being one of the cooler websites around. 

Oh, and I'm still the next Michael Pachter

I agree. HD would benefit from just one standard and it seems blu-ray is winning.

7.

I'm kidding, of course.  Any numbers you get will have been spun badly (ie: if you're seeing something with 6 figures it didn't actually sell that many to people.   HD-DVD and BD are selling a tiny fraction of what DVD is selling.  Very small.
