The bigger effect is seen even on the paper side, where loads of people are getting back into stores with tons of owners telling us how much DotP has meant to them. Magic Online is sporting some pretty amazing increases in new accounts immediately after pushes on Xbox too. The time period you captured for the OP here was when MSFT was kind enough to make us their XBLA deal of the week, which (predictably) really spiked sales, but even without that push, we've hung around the top 5 for going on 8 months now, and I think we've only been out of the top 10 for a day or two. Pretty amazing indeed.
