No real suprises hardware-wise. Wii and DS kicking all kinds of ass, 360 still pretty solid and pulling in 1.5x that of the PS3 and PSP (Wii over 3x and DS over 2.5 times), both of which seem stuck in the 200k range now

There are a couple of things on the software side though:
1) I love the fact that I was wrong about Left 4 Dead. I predicted it would be a better game but sell less than Dead Space. I haven't played Dead Space so I can't say which is better, but L4D is selling extremely well with another 240k+ this month. That puts it at over a million in North America alone and it seems to be still in demand. I truly think it represents a step forward in co-op gameplay (along with Horde) and I'm happy to see people are accepting it. Hopefully, this means we see more advancement in and volume of these types of games
2) OK, what the fuck is it with Mario Kart DS? Yes, it's the best Mario Kart ever made and should be on the top of any gamer's list of games to get for a DS. But man, it's been over 3 years and the game just won't stop selling. Over 100k.....again? It almost sold as much this month as Too Human sold in its first month of availability. New Mario Bros is up there too but it's only been a year and I'll bet it'll be another one that has 3+ years of top 10 sales. Just crazy the legs that game has.

I was there on that fateful day, were you?
