mighty big drop off for FFT PSP 150,000 plus its 1st week 40,000 its second week??

Makes sense, it's a slow week. The Wii Sports attach rate is definitely going down.

RPGs are typically horrid 2nd week preformers. Blue Dragon in Japan sold 86k o/w, only to drop to 23k or less the next week (fortunately since then it's held up real well). MHP2 was the same way, 750k o/w, then somewhere near 175k second week.

Unfortunately NPD has brainwashed most American sales enthusiasts into believing that weekly sales cannot possibly exist and certainly can't take less than two weeks to be posted! I've even heard claims that the retailers themselves won't report any sales anything other than monthly, which I know personally is false having actually worked retail before.

HW is up fellas.
