Why not show the Xbox 360 in them totals? Would that be pointless? Either way I think its great the PS3 is doing good there. Still haven’t bought a Wii cause I’m holding out for a black one to match my PS3.

Just wait till FFXIII drops and it will be epic in japan , not that this isn’t epic in it’s own right.
