Every time I look at Counter Strike 2 and Dota 2, I just think to myself, goodness gracious, if that's not the most notorious effect on the masses to have the top two games, no matter what month it is. I mean, if I ever see a game top Dota 2 or Counterstrike 2, I think it may be the end of the world. Because it has to be, I would assume it's like an e-sports league where people, I'm not going to say they have to play the game because if that was the case, every esports game would be on this list. Now, I'm not going to lie to you. As far as the first week sales for Summer Walker, I would.

was I was insanely wrong. I was thinking she was going to do Cardi B-like numbers. Summer Walker debuted number two on Billboard 200. And when it comes to first week, oh goodness, 77,000 first week. Shout to Taylor Swift, the biggest gangster in the music industry and it's not even close. And seeing her coming at number three makes you probably wonder to yourself. Hold on now. So who's the top two as far as projects in the world?

and gentlemen let me tell you right now yeah again into nintendo games top three games on nintendo as you can see right here um safe to say when it comes to super smash bros being one of my favorite games of all time this is why because when you when you split up the ips they still sell tremendously as kirby air riders comes in number one i just came out not too long ago and as you can see it's doing fantastic on the market because for the first time in a while you look at call of duty and they're not the the FPS powerhouse that they used to be, right? Battlefield 6 is doing better than it. As far as ready or not, that game was doing well. It's not doing as good as Blackouts, but there's just a lot more FPS competition. And for Battlefield 6,

they actually overtake Call of Duty and popularity and objective metrics. Because usually Call of Duty sells the best. It's the best selling game year after year, except for a 2023 when Hogwarts Legacy came out.
