Wii Music really brings down the "by installment" average, though if we start counting Pokemon spin-offs it isn't as bad a comparison.

I imagine Wii Chess brings down the average a lot more than Wii Music ;)

How did this become a Pokemon thread? That press release is classic Greenberg. He totally trashed the PS3 without acknowledging the Wii. :)

After seeing these SF numbers, I'm almost certain Resident Evil is way undertracked.

Not a 360 fanboy, just a PS3 fanboy hater that likes putting them in their place ^.^

"The PS3 was down in February two percent even with the launch of Killzone 2 -- that's months of year-over-year declines. Xbox continues to head north while the PS3 is heading south. We're gaining share." grenburng ftw!

Greenburg quickly forgets that the PS3 may have had Killzone 2 (for only 2-days mind you) but it also isn't coming off a price drop like it was in February 2008.

"Hemorrhaging" my ass.

If anything shouldn't Sony make more money this February on PS3 sales as opposed to last February's PS3 sales due to lowered production costs? Not sure how much the Yen affects it so of course I could be wrong.
