Ah. We're coming back to normal now. Although it's for just under 6 days (around 5.8), the market is apearing robust, even without a new major game this week. The Maw will be interesting to track next week.

Please note: I've changed some of the methodology behind the XBLA numbers to (hopefully) become more accurate. I am not weighting new releases by about 30%. This should help the accuracy of sales. As always, it's not perfect, because it's rare to see numbers come in from MS in any form or fashion, but from what I've heard, this may make it more accurate. All historical numbers have been updated, giving releases an extra 20-30% within their first 3 weeks on the market.

Oh, and for my Email: I apologize if I haven't responded concerning any Emails as of late. My computer was wacky with my VGC Email address...But it's fixed now. Hurray!
