Heavenly Sword
Is seventh position in it's first week really a good debut for Heavenly Sword ???
Surely it would have been hoped that such a much hyped PS3 game would be higher in the charts ?
Re: Heavenly Sword
number of PS3 owners vs number of XB360 and wii/DS owners.
Do the math.
Re: Heavenly Sword
But then again, 360 and Wii owners have lots of choice on what to buy. PS3 owners do not, and are starved of releases, so this should have at least got number 4.
