So everything was adjusted down again? Make up your mind Vgchartz, last week God of War: Ascension was at about 220K (If I remember correctly) which was barely behind God of War III and now it's far behind.

Yup, and they still don't have American box art, or the English name for the game. I also still can't add Pokemon Black 2 and Conquest to my collection. Whoever is Game Database Admin is sure taking it easy.
