yeah that could be an issue but that damn video is pretty persuasive and those sales figures are pretty outstanding ranking in the top five fastest sellers for any activision title on ANY console

give it another week and watch the prices fall. Its hype, similar to "Ironman" and "HULK" videogame sales. Nun wrong with that, they have to compensate for the price of the peripheral.

update
according to gamasutra GHDS is atill atop the north american charts

"Last week's Nintendo DS sales champion Guitar Hero: On Tour holds on to the top spot in the United States this week. Its fellow recent debut Final Fantasy Tactics A2 isn't as lucky, however, as the title falls out of this week's top five despite a promising second-place finish in the week prior."
