Honestly the $ drop was a joke too, considering the launch of 3DS next year, and considering the lack of big hits coming out on DS over the last 6 months, okay there's been a couple, but nothing like the previous years.
Sales should pick up a bit during fall/xmas time tho with the release of Golden Sun, tho I fear that was too little too late.

Yeah the DS needs a big price drop. They might as well give up on the PSP all together...PS3's need a big price drop 2 considering we are talking about the PS4 already...
Just my $0.02,

Yea but the next console war isn't due out until 2012, so it has a little while to go before needing another price drop. But I do believe move will shatter Sony as kinect will dent MS. I feel more Sony tho, as even in the console bundle you still don't get every piece needed to play some games.

Kinect doesn't launch until Nov 10th.
Although from the way the PS3 fanboys have been talking about it, as if they know everything (surprise surprise, it's all bad) about it, you'd think it had been out in the shops for a while.
Interesting that Xbox S outsold everything again andby quite a margin, even in a slow month.

lot o great titles coming out fall. cant wait for a few of them Fable 3, Fallout:New Vegas, FFXIV.
not really looking into shooters that much not until they revolutionize something.
Did like Mafia 2, made better with the free ride mod.
i would love to know what happens with Joe Barbaro. i don't like huge cliff hangers.
