Sales actually dropped 68% year-over-year for all formats combined while the Wii version specifically fell an almost unbelievable 86%. It went from 272K to 38K. The main factor in the plummeting...

Since the Comic-Con portion was lost we'll likely do a short preview Padrecast when down in San Diego later this week.

Inception Opens Large While Sorcerer’s Apprentice Falters
Inception made $61.4 million this weekend exceeding most expectations. The Christopher Nolan project starring Leonardo DiCaprio (review here) opened at the high end of industry predictions which had pegged it as heading for a $40-60 million weekend.
