When are Pokemon Pearl and Diamond coming out in the US?

I'm surprised Sony made it past the top 10, but #2? Whatever, they're still being devoured in the competition nonetheless.

21 out of 25 are on a Nintendo console. Heh. Go figure that PokeMon tops the list.

Is Brain Training on there twice? Number 14 and 22. I'm surprised that the Legend of Zelda didn't do as well. Ah well, they're all pretty good games.

The fact that zelda is not in top 3 DISGUSTS mii. No really, it's harder to take than need for speed at number 1 in uk. I used to respect japan as a gaming nation, not any more! Turn their noses up at gaming class and buy train driving games instead? I'm truly disgusted. What next? Fifa street at number 1 in japan? The day that happens I stop gaming forever.

Scooby Jew, look at the GAME Sony's selling at #2. Come on, look. METAL GEAR SOLID. MGS rules! That's not too surprising that Sony is at #2 to me.

Why didn't the PSP version (ripoff) of Brain Training make it on?

Mgs ops psp looks like a ps1 game and plays like poo. MGS hasn't been a good game in years, I bet the ps3 version still has the ps1 TWITCHY D-PAD controls and that's dated and WRONG.
