Despite an 18% loss in revenue last quarter as compared to last year's, Electronic Arts is confident the launch of a number of holiday titles and an upcoming restructuring would put them back in the game. The changes will focus on efficiency and cost-cutting. Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter remains positive about the future of the studio, saying: "They appear to have costs under control and revenue growth is solid."

Finally we get something to ogle at. Screenshots for Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 for the PSP. [cue screams of glee from the Michael Owen fangirls]. Lucky for them, this screenshot update features none other than one of Konami's cover boys for the game: Michael Owen himself. Lucky for the rest of us, the screens paint us a pretty picture of what we can expect in the game. The graphics look great, that's for sure.

The game gets released in Europe on November (along with its DS version). Meanwhile the console versions (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PC) arrive earlier, on the 26th of this month. It couldn't come at a better time for Europe too.

Considering that EA's FIFA 08 just bumped Halo 3 out of the top spot this week, some of you have deduced that Europeans do love their football soccer indeed. Could PES 2008 make a dent on FIFA's sales? We'll see. But in the meantime... Michael Owen, if you please.

Chart Track UK has published the results of the Top 40 games in their region for the week ending October 6. Although it's not surprising that Halo 3 debuted right at the top of last week's chart (week ending September 29), what you might find a bit of a bother now is that it no longer reigns supreme.

From second place last week, Electronic Arts' FIFA 08 (PS3, PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, and DS) has bumped Halo 3 from the number one spot and claimed it for itself. Meanwhile, MySims got demoted one level down from the third spot, which is now occupied by Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights.

1. FIFA 08
2. Halo 3
3. Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights
4. MySims
5. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
6. More Brain Training From Dr. Kawashima
7. Sega Rally
8. Ratatouille
9. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training
10. Forza Motorsport 2

One probable reason (we're sure there are a lot others) why Halo 3 is now in second place is because of its stellar success during the first week - probably anyone and everyone who would have or could have gotten a copy of the game during the first week of its release already did so, therefore not getting much contribution in sales for this week. Besides. Who ever said getting the second spot was bad?
