I guess PSP sales rose after the price of the Go! was announced.

It's going to stay boring until Sony starts trying again ("price drop!"). I just hope they split out the PSPGo so we can (hopefully) laugh at how badly it bombs.

Edit: good point:

... I almost bought one myself after seeing the PSPGo price, before looking at my giant pile of games for other platforms.

Oh well, Valkyria Chronicles is fun and Lost season 4 looks great on blu-ray so their failure to compete isn't hurting me

Ah, but Valkyria Chronicles 2 will be on PSP, so they'll get you in the end

So where did the PS3 versions on Prototype and UFC end up? Seems pretty bad that the 360 versions topped the list, but their PS3 counterparts didn't even make the top ten.

UFC's first month was a good showing for both the 360 and PS3. I'd say Prototype PS3 sales were cannibalized by releasing 2 weeks after a very competent Infamous game.

I can't believe WiiFit is still selling that well.

Well, at least Wii Play finally fell out of the top 10.

Infamous sold more in its 2nd month than it's first. That's awesome news for a great game. I know it was only out for like 5 days in May, but I was expecting the bulk of it's sales to be day 1 hardcore buying it. But it's nice to see it kept selling so well in June also.

Yep, inFamous is one of the games that makes me wish I could get away with bringing a PS3 into the house. :laugh:

Hide the PS3 behind the tv and make one of These. Your wife will just think you are playing on the 360 :laugh:

Ars got a hold of the breakdown between the DS and the DSi.

Total sold: 766,000

* Nintendo DSi: 424,000
* Nintendo DS: 342,000

That makes the DSi the top seller and shows the DS still going strong.

Oops, nevermind, Queasy beat me to it.
