I was not able to get as much information this month as I have previously, but I tried to do a decent job with what I had. Things of interest:
- Looking at Sony becoming a one-platform (PS3) company. Some details there on PS2, PSP, revenue, top software in 2009.
- Nintendo's software dominance in terms of their evergreen titles. Also an NDS top 5 for 2009 there.
- A comparison of January 2010 to January 2008, since January 2009 was still part of the "crazy time" when the market was ridiculously hot.
