LBP rather impressively climbing back again – now back into the top 20 – presumably on the back of (finally…) some TV advertising. I wonder what might have happened if Sony had started that ad campaign a couple of weeks earlier?

It’s probably more down to it being 20 quid from a lot of places than any adverts.

Well, there is that, too. At least it’s finally got higher than Kung Fu Panda…

I can’t quite believe the popularity of Call of Duty. CoD4 was very good, but still not sure why the public is picking Call of Duty over any other series.

Seems the public isn’t quite as bored of WWII as the “hardcore” gamers thought.

Being £20 is part of it, but it’s still selling – you still need to want the title at £20. Besides there isn’t a big title this Christmas which hasn’t been available for £30 or less at some point.
