    Yeah, that's true, but I did get some thumbs up action out of it. Must not be the only one that shake's their head in disgust when they see that.

    These statistics are usually 1-2 weeks old. So these are probably for the beginning of August.

    The Vita is doing horrible. I don't think Sony could have done a worse job with it.
