Pretty much. It was pretty well-known that MLB 10: The Show was the better game, and by a pretty wide margin. I talked to a few who bought 2k10, and a good chunk of them bought it specifically for this reason. (The rest pretty only had a X360 and had no choice.)

Pretty amazing that so many people actually think they had a chance, but then again, the lottery keeps on going too.

I suspect steroid use. Hopefully Congress will look into this.
