In general, there was an overall decline in industry sales of titles for the PS2 as more consumers migrated to the next-generation platforms as compared to the prior year.  Net revenues from sales of titles for the PS2 decreased 25% from $146.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $109.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008.  In the three months ended June 30, 2008, we had a smaller number of major new releases on the PS2 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2007. The key titles driving the quarter ended June 30, 2008 results were the release of Guitar Hero: Aerosmith in North America and Europe, Kung Fu Panda worldwide, and the European and Asia Pacific release of the LucasArts’ title Lego: Indiana Jones the Original Adventure.  This compared to the worldwide releases of Spider-Man 3, Shrek the Third, Tony Hawk’s Downhill Jam, and TRANSFORMERS: The Game in the quarter ended June 30, 2007.  Additionally, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the continued sales of Guitar Hero II for the PS2 (games and accessories) also contributed to the net revenues for the PS2.

        Net revenues from sales of titles for the PS2 increased 19% from $422.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2006 to $500.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2007. Although we released a fewer number of major titles for the PS2 in fiscal 2007, the strong performance of these releases, particularly the PS2 exclusive title Guitar Hero 2, resulted in higher net revenues in absolute dollars and as a percentage of publishing net revenues. The key titles impacting the fiscal 2007 results were Call of Duty 3, the #3 title overall for the third quarter fiscal 2007, according to NPD Funworld, and Guitar Hero 2 (game and accessories), the #1 best selling title on the PS2 platform for the third quarter fiscal 2007 per NPD Funworld. In addition, we released Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, Over the Hedge, Tony Hawk's Project 8, X-Men: The Official Game, Shrek Smash N' Crash Racing and our European affiliate title, LucasArts' Star Wars Lego 2. This compares to fiscal 2006 where we released the PS2 titles Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, Shrek SuperSlam, GUN, True Crime: New York City, Madagascar, Fantastic Four, X-Men Legends 2, Ultimate Spiderman and two affiliate titles in Europe, LucasArts' Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Battlefront II.
