Galaxy 2 outsold the first one... cool! 879k vs 619k

And Japan... 349k vs 261k

I'm really glad it is selling better, and this is in the middle of the year, not close of the Holidays

Well, the PSP will get a new life soon.

They'll propably announce something big @ E3.

Is it me or is the 100k gap between SMG2 and RDR and UFC weird?

PSP really is pitiful right now. Sony need to do something drastic (or get the PSP2 out ASAP).

The gap between Xbox 360 and PS3 is quite small in Americas, so the WW gap should be over 30k (or even 35k) this week.

SMG2 sales are very strong, but it wouldn't be surprising if this title was more frontloaded than the sequel, so its hard to tell whether it will be bigger or not over lifetime sales.

Alan Wake's sales declined massively this week. 75% drop between weeks 1 and 2? Not a good sign, and it really looks like it won't sell 1 million WW.

Great opening for SMG2, hopfully it won't be to frontloaded, I'd say nice hold for RDR, had hoped a bit better for MNR, hopfully it will have legs though.

Alan Wake is a true bomb, Xbox 360 exclusives are losing steam.

Halo 3 just hit 11 million!!

Galaxy 2 is high, but it is too be expected that a sequal will have a higher opening then it's predecessor. Otherwise, the chart is mostly newer games, 4 of which were this week.

NSMB Wii sales are rising for the last 4 weeks and, even with the release of Galaxy 2, it just keep rising.

It is not obvious... most of the sequels sell less than its predecessors, just look at Resistance 2 and Motorstorm 2....

MG 2 sales means that Mario is better than ever :D.
