Looks like the DSi caused a big boost in DS hardware sales along with software. Nintendo is going to be downright obnoxious at E3 with their chest thumping about sales, I’m calling it right now. They sort of deserve it though. It looks like GH: Aerosmith dropping to $10 managed to put it into the top ten again, imagine that. Hey developers, price drops are good, okay?

    Is that right? The PS2 is outselling the PS3?

    The Wii will take back over when Punch Out hits stores.

    Yeah, the PS2 jumped ahead on the strength of the new $99 price tag. I figured it would sell a lot more, but I’m not surprised to see it outpace the PS3 for at least a month.

    I’ll be getting a new PS3 soon for blu ray & I miss what exclusives it still does have.
