A 360 game on top of the Japanese charts? No Wii game in the top 10? Is the world coming to an end?

Maybe the Wii360 thing caught on a lot more than anyoen realized and they were all busy playing their 360s to buy anything.

On what machines? They only sell about 5000 a week....

 

[meStevo]

Even with a smaller install base, 360 owners have the highest attach rate, something like 6+ game purchases per console.

considering that Halo 3 is the franchise game of the 360, that doesnt suprise me.
