It's great to see DS and Wii at the top of the hardware sales; with the 360 taking third which is good. It's no surprise that there are no PS3 games in the top 10. PS3 games can never seem to grab a spot in the top ten. But it's not like there games are awful.

I suppose a top 15 debut for NMH isn't all that bad, but it would help the game out if Ubisoft did some advertisement. And every week there are new Wii owners, so every week they'll see that game comes with an Extra Wiimote and pick it up >.>

Dammit people! Stop buying WiiPlay. The only reason people got it before was because extra remotes were hard to come by. That's not the case anymore because you can find them almost everywhere you go. Just get a remote and save yourself $10.

I only liked Tanks! and can still play that game today, but I just don't think it's worth getting WiiPlay only for one good minigame.

I loved tanks. I think the duck hunt one was good and so was billiards.

Wii Play must be breaking some sort of record, or soon to be by now, and I still haven't bought it.

I got Wii play + remote for $40. Thank you bestbuy for your $10 off $40 or more coupon!
I actually like Wii Play. I still go back and play it every so often. Too bad they didn't have a mode of the shooting game that limits your shots and advances indefinitely. That'd extend the replay.

Yes! Galaxy is on pace to pass COD4 and No More Heroes made a strong debut for a Mature game on the Wii, which hopefully encourages more sales and a sequel in the future! This is great news. Wii owners are buying this game, it is a great sign the first week of release.

I should hope Wii owners are buying the game-- It wouldn't do Xbox or PS3 owners a whole lot of good.

Very true. But try slapping on a free remote with Galaxy. That would have sold record numbers.
Free remote with game = Extra happy customer.

That is actually a great idea. Although, Galaxy is selling pretty well on its own.

It sure is! What I meant was; slap a free remote with any game and it will sell very well.
