That way, as the pages that are referenced are changed or taken from the web, a link to the version that was live when the page was written will be preserved. Then the Internet Archive hopes that references to these archived pages will be put in place of a link that would be otherwise be broken, or a companion link to allow people to see what was originally intended by a page's authors.

The milestone was reached over the period covering the console's launch in Japan on December 12, 2004 until August 24, 2008. Of course, in comparison, it took Nintendo DS just over one year to reach the same number in Japan. We also get to see what the top five games are for the portable, with exact sales numbers for the same period. As expected, a certain Capcom franchise overwhelms the list. 1. Monster Hunter 2nd G (Capcom) – 2,396, 642 2. Monster Hunter 2nd (Capcom) – 1,706,387 3. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (Square Enix) – 790,705 4. Monster Hunter Portable (Capcom) – 668,964 5. Phantasy Star Portable (Sega) – 545,242 Phantasy Star Portable should reach the third spot by the end of the year, if trends continue.
