| Interesting snippets:
"Of course the strong dollar sales performance is also significantly impacted by the Xbox 360 which now has a U.S. install base of nearly 2.7 million units
---snip---
Looking at software, THQ's Saints Row for Xbox 360 took the top spot in dollar sales

Will be interesting to see Microsoft's official figures for total sales for the 360 in the US and worldwide, when Microsoft announce their fiscal first quarter results on October 26. |

| Both the PS2 and 360 version's of MAdden 07 are sshowing strong legs by staying in the top 10. I suppose by next week, the 360 version should cool down with the market saturated. PS2 has a few more weeks left in the top 10.
Dead Rising is not the million seller one might have expected. Shocking decline for a killer app. Will have to wait and watch how Saints Row performs this month. |

| I really cant wait to see the sales once FFIII comes out in English!
Already in Japan its sold loads. But what can we say? How's GTA doing on the PSP ;) |
|
| | | Dead Rising needs to be better advertised on TV to get greater sales. Best Buy has it on sale for $39.99 so that help during Oct. Saints Row is benefitting from a huge TV ad promotion. Being the only next-gen GTA game this year, it is definitely a 360 seller. |

| | Hi. I don't suppose someone could do a Top 15 GBA list. The reason that I'm asking this is that I'm curious in how some of Atlus' recent releases (namely "Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation") have faired. |
