Part of the reason PS2 sales are that high is because of faulty hardware that people have to replace eventually. A couple of my friends have bought a second PS2. Rediculous that they had to do that, but possibly more rediculous that they are that loyal? Hmmm...

Good for Mario Galaxy though, glad to see such a rebound for Nintendo.

Good for Ucharted, it deserves to sell. I can see this game selling well over time...not a super-hyped up game, but one that can sell strong due to word of mouth.

Hasn't the 360's failure rate been higher? I know 4 people who bought 360's, and 3 of the 4 have died on them, red ring style. 1 of those 3 replaced his, 1 is trying to get it fixed, and the other is planning on getting a PS3 in the near future.

Yea, now that you mention it the same could probably be said about the 360.

Most likely. The difference is all Xbox 360s are still under warranty, where people bought new PS2s. If someone bought a new Xbox 360, they're an idiot, and obviously wanted a second one. It's part of the reason Microsoft is doing so poorly when it comes to their financial status. All Xbox profits are canceled out by the hit they're taking from the repairs. But guess what? It didn't cost me a cent that they purchased hardware from the lowest bidder. Bravo Microsoft.

As for CoD4... well deserved. It's funny that Microsoft's E3 conference was about how 3rd parties sell more when putting games on Xbox 360. It's still true, and that's really something to be proud of. Xbox 33 - Others 9.

Can't wait for Sega Superstar Tennis to make that list. PREORDER NOW YOU BASTARDS! Support Sega, buy all games featuring Amigo, AiAi, and NiGHTS.

You think Sega Superstar Tennis will do best on Xbox 360?
As well as 360 software does, you can pretty much boil down the games that sell on that console. And Sega Superstar seems something that will sell better on the Wii.
