I agree and Gabe getting on stage and to admit he was wrong really caused me to respect him, because if I were in his place, I would not have had the guts to do what he did.

prob over 130k on steam but I really have no idea. There was something like 70k people playing it on steam whenever I checked. 

Yeah, I've always really liked Valve as a developer but never really focused on their people before, but seeing the big guy do that (even allowing for the fact it was also a business move) did give me some serious respect for him.

It was major humble pie, his openning words and stance made it clear he knew he was eating major humble pie, but he did it.

Personally I found the Portal 2 on PS3 reveal more of an out an out surprise than FFXIII hitting 360.  Obviously FXIII is a bigger franchise by far, but it was fair game to appear on 360 based on the company's previous MO.  But Gabe walking out and annoucning not just Portal 2 but Steam on PS3 - no way did I see that one coming.

Those 3ds&Wii numbers make me smile.

No, it is not only you. Day of rejoicing is coming!

Killzone 3 this week > last week even without Japan, not that it would have mattered much, but still good for Killzone 3.

I expect sales to drop next week because of decreased word of mouth due to no PSN. I'm not sure though, I have no experience with an occurrence like this.

Damn.. you know that the PS3 indeed ships in mroe country as you said, but that those country can't justify a difference of 1m, when in those countries the PS3 wil, maybe, never get to that amount in its LT sales...

Waste of money. I can't see anyone paying $60 for that game. There are some hardcore Socom fans out there that will buy every Socom game whether it sucks or not.

Holy sh**, where are the japanese numbers?!

We've had two public holidays in the past 11 days here in the UK... delay on the numbers is hardly surprizing.
