CoJ debuts at a pretty pitiful 45k. I was suprised since Shadowrun did so well. Expect this game to plummet to #7 or #8 next week.
Forza 2 drops pretty sharply (53%), but according to Bodhesia (sp), atleast his stores are sold out. IMO, it's probably supply constrained, and once it gets to 30-40k, should have GH2 type legs.
Shadowrun did very well, and has a suprisingly strong hold for #3.
Guitar Hero 2 sees a slight increase in sales, and is still powering ahead for the 1m mark.
C&C 3 continues to have absolutely amazing legs. A 20% drop is very strong for the type of game (RTS). Heck, at this rate, it could see 500k sales in the US before it's off the top 200.
POTC sees some hold, and could end up with 80k or so. Very good considering
RSV and FNR3 continue their spectacular numbers, both en route to the 1m mark within the next 5 weeks.
MLB2k7 continues to run to the 500k mark. A good number for what it is.
Other numbers: Def Jam hits 225k, might hit 250k by the time it's done (if its lucky), and NBA Live hits 400k.

Not much of anything here. Most everything insignificant have great drops. BD remains strong, with low drops. FM2 drops quite a bit, but should start holding after this week, expecially with the glut of hardware that should be sold in the coming weeks, and new games needing to be purchased.
Expect a far more lively Japanese list next week, as GRAW, Dead Rising, FNR3 and Bullet Witch go platinum and Tenchu Z launches. We could see 360 s/w edge near ~100k units if TB launched real strong, and Tenchu got somewhere around 10k+
I would estimate that TB should get 65~70k, Tenchu with 13~15k, Blue Dragon with 2~5k, Forza with 1.5~2.5k, and the rest somewhere around 1k each. I hope, however, that DR can garner a bit more sales, as it was 68k last time it charted.
Hardware:
Hardware was up worldwide last week. Sales were up about 200 units worldwide - the US dropped by around 10% to 57k, Europe offset this by increasing 20% to 28k, and Japan increased slightly by around 5%. 200 units is useless as an increase, (about 0.05%). However, it's better than a decrease.
European software is sketchy, but as far as I can tell, Forza 2 was the big winner last week, most likely garnering very strong #1's across Europe. In the UK, it was #1, and had the 4th best launch of the year, next to WoW: BC, FFXII and R:FoM, and the 3rd best X360 launch in the UK, next to Gears and PES. That should hint at Forza reaching the 1m mark in Europe, if sales were steady.
I fully expect the 360 to increase to above 90,000 hardware units next week, and could get close to the 100k mark - which it hasn't reached since late Febuary.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
