Ok 360 catching up, getting pumped for Nov-Dec takeover!!!

And poor Vita, even I think it deserves better then that.

Weekly rant:

DS selling more than 25k/week in US alone for a long time.

What the hell is up with Kirby's Dream Collection? I thought it was out ages ago, but now it just surfaces near the top of the US charts, after not appearing on them previously?

With such a big space-time distortion I'm having trouble trusting anything else about the figures.

Here's how I see it:

Kirby's Dream Collection didn't have a US release date. Only DB Admins can change them and they weren't aware of the issue.

As you can see it was still in the US Pre-Order Charts despite its release for the same reason.

Trunkswd (Wiliam D'Angelo) changed the release date and that's the reason why it's up here now.
As you can see the numbers on the Pre-Order Charts were already sales and not pre-orders. That's why this weeks numbers are actually the combined numbers of week 1-5.

Things gearing up for the holiday... well Vita not yet it seems but the others anyway.

Decent stay for Dishonored.

Doom 3 BFG edition in the top 10 in both USA and UK is a very happy surprise! 50K on the X360 in USA alone is much better than I expected. It's a game that underperformed back when it was released, for good reason I think, but still I want id Software to succeed.

Also I am happy for the unexpected success of Dishonored.

So the 12GB PS3 did nothing?

Anyway sales increasing rapidly.

360 is getting ready for holidays!

Halo 4, Black Ops 2 and Kinect will do the Work.

Read what I wrote...

Just Dance 4 has typical casual sales. Nothing surprising really. Many didn't know that it was released until they saw it with their own eyes in a shop or heard it from someone who has the game.
