"Sign of Trouble ahead?"

More like sign of same ole same ole. Most impressive 3rd place finish ever by a console. Embrace the 'glass half full' truth in that statement.

we know nintendo has 7 of the 10 in the 20-30 range as well.

How do we know this? I know Rockband Wii is at number 29. But still, how do we know Ninty has 7 of the 20-30 slots?

Nintendo in their press release said that 20 of the top 30 titles were Nintendo games.

Where is the press release?

How is this surprising? Don't you check VGC too? The next closest PS3 title is Madden 09 which is # 28.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Hmm I'm curious as to what the other 7 are in the 20-30 range from Nintendo. Someone said one is Rock Band but Wii/DS software always does sell better.

And as I said, COD: WaW on Wii not doing that bad according to NPD. In the top 20 along with Shaun White which is pretty good.

No, it's not a sign of trouble ahead. Did anybody really expect LBP to crack the top 20 in the US?

they say nintendo has 20 of the top 30, we have the top 20, just do the math.

Dude, no need to get smart. I wasn't aware they said that in the press release, because I haven't read it yet. Chill.

@ Fishy Joe - thanks.

Madden left for dead & fallout are multiplat so i don't see how ps3 is in danger. Those publishers will just continue to multiplat sports & shooters.

I hope developers take this as a sign and start pumping out more software for the Wii...soon the Wii's install base will be too massive for anyone to ignore. $$$

I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.
