			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>NPD for June changes things up a little bit with the Xbox 360 just barely taking the number 2 spot thanks to stock clearing sales on the old model 360&#8242;s and the release of the 360 short. Red Dead and Galaxy 2 continue to hold the first 3 software slots, while Toy Story 3 for DS and Lego Harry Potter Wii make a strong showing for licensed titles. Being beaten in the portable space by Toy Story 3 must be painful for Hideo Kojima whose Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker failed to chart on that unlovable loser the PSP. Alpha Protocol, Singularity, and Transformers should also commit seppuku for their horrible sales this month.</p>
<p>Nintendo DS 510,700<br />
Xbox 360 451,700<br />
Wii 422,500<br />
PlayStation 3 304,800<br />
PSP 121,000</p>
<p>Top 10 Games Sales</p>
<p>Red Dead Redemption 360 (Take 2) - 582,900<br />
Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii (Nintendo) - 548,400<br />
Red Dead Redemption PS3 (Take 2) - 380,300<br />
New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Nintendo) - 200,900<br />
Just Dance Wii (Ubisoft) &#8211; 174,800<br />
Wii Fit Plus With Balance Board Wii (Nintendo)<br />
Toy Story3 NDS (Disney Interactive Studios<br />
UFC 2010: Undisputed 360 (THQ)<br />
Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Wii (Warner Bros. Interactive)<br />
UFC 2010: Undisputed PS3 (THQ)</p>
<p><strong>Updating with the rest of the top 20:</strong></p>
<p>11. Pokemon SoulSilver DS<br />
12. Transformers War For Cybertron 360<br />
13. New Super Mario Bros. DS<br />
14. Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 360<br />
15. FIFA World Cup 360<br />
16. FIFA World Cup PS3<br />
17. Mario Kart Wii<br />
18. Pokemon HeartGold DS<br />
19. Toy Story 3 Wii<br />
20. Wii Sports Resort</p>
<p>Also some numbers for specific games were released.<br />
Transformers 360 did 132,000, and Wii Sports Resort in the 20 position sold less than 100,000 which should give you an idea of how bad some of this month&#8217;s other releases did. Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker failed to even crack the top 20 selling only 52,000 copies. Even worse numbers for Green Day Rock Band which sold only 83,000 copies between ALL 3 of the console releases.  Skate 3 only sold 253,000 copies in it&#8217;s first 2 months down forty percent from Skate 2, and Tiger Woods 11 dropped 68 percent from last year&#8217;s release, due entirely to Tiger&#8217;s unquenchable love of white meat being made public this year.</p>
<p>According to the twitter account of an IGN employee some bombs of the month are in this order:<br />
Naughty Bear > Singularity > Sin and Punishment<br />
Perhaps if Singularity, or Sin and Punishment had had any promotion whatsoever they might have had at least a remote chance of beating out Naughty Bear!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>America has gone totally <a href="http://www.megatonnews.com/2007/09/15/super-mario-galaxy-u-r-mr-gay">gay</a> for Super Mario Galaxy. It sold over 500,000 making it the best first week for a Mario game ever in America.</p>
<p>Nintedo press release:</p>
<p>REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 20, 2007 – Could Super Mario Galaxy™ be the best video game of all time?</p>
<p>If you ask critics and consumers, the answer is a resounding yes. Reviewers for video game and mainstream media alike are responding with high marks to the boundless sense of wonder and fun the game brings to both experienced and novice players.</p>
<p>Independent review-tracking site GameRankings.com now lists Super Mario Galaxy for Nintendo&#8217;s Wii™ system as the best-reviewed game of all time, and another review-tracking site, Metacritic.com, lists Super Mario Galaxy as having &#8220;Universal Acclaim,&#8221; with a score of 98 out of 100.</p>
<p>More on what reviewers are saying:</p>
<p>GameSpot.com: Super Mario Galaxy &#8220;has tons of appeal for both the less experienced player and the longtime gamer. &#8230; If ever there were a must-own Wii game, Super Mario Galaxy is it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yahoo!: &#8220;… you&#8217;d be hard pressed to find (a game) as genuinely enjoyable as Mario&#8217;s latest. If you own a Wii, you should own this, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>1UP.com &#8211; &#8220;Galaxy proves that Mario matters just as much today as he did 25 years ago, and that makes him one of a kind in this medium. But don&#8217;t play Galaxy simply because Mario is the timeless godfather of gaming. No, play Galaxy because it&#8217;s fantastic.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Super Mario Galaxy had the strongest one-week debut of any Wii game to date and has also become the best-selling Mario title ever in its first week, with U.S. sales of more than 500,000, based on internal sales figures,&#8221; says George Harrison, Nintendo of America&#8217;s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. &#8220;It makes an easy gift choice as the holiday shopping season kicks off.&#8221;</p>
