Since the Update GTA VC PS2 or SA PS2 cant remember which says that the sales for the 1st week were 500

it is probably because people are auto-refreshing the pages to get it up the list. The game database has mechanisms in place to prevent auto-hits, but I'm betting the popular list doesn't have as much.

Why did we reset hits anyway?




Nintendo still doomed?

cause people like to auto-refresh pages, but we want a realistic view of how popular games are. It is useful information, but some people just have to have their game be the most popular.

also, I just think we felt like it

I guess someone really wanted NG2 to be on the popular list.

infamous has been on the front page for at least 1-2 weeks. Ninja Gaiden 2 just got on there.
