Weekly Famitsu had a short feature celebrating PS3's 2nd anniversary (they put it as PS3's 730 days in Japan) in issue 12/12 detailing the console's journey so far in Japan. Besides looking back at some of the major events during the two years, the mag also asked some industry experts on their view about PS3's future. Some of them think Ad-Hoc Party, the new service that allows PSP games with local communication play functionality to be able to go online, will spurs PS3 sales. Others hope 45nm Chips can be introduced faster so we can have slimmer PS3. As always, some sales data were shared. According to Enterbrain's data, 2,469,448 units of Sony's struggling console have been sold as at Nov 16 and below are the five best selling software on the system since its launch (also as at Nov 16). Hit the jump for the list!

Videogamer reports that Konami has announced that it will be reissuing PES 2008 as a budget title for Xbox 360 and PS2 on May 16. Originally released in October 2007, new budget reissues will see the Xbox 360 version retailing at the lower price of £24.99 and the PS2 edition dropping to £19.99. Gamers thinking of picking up the game for PS3 at a cheaper price are out of luck though, with no confirmed price drop. Videogamer is sure it will happen at some point though.
