I'm not denying the money involved, but it's worth remembering that £45 is probably the average price, with many buying special editions at who knows how much. The biggest previous titles were on the cheaper in every sense PS3... Plus, the numbers shouldn't be confused with sales figures, which they seem reluctant to release when they used to crow about them.

All that said, there's a much better buzz with this particular yearly title.
