This week saw some amazing gameplay videos and screenshots for our anticipated games. For one, BioShock 2's Rapture was finally revealed, as well as some direct-feed screenshots and concept art for Big Sister.

But the biggest games weren't the only ones that made noise. Microsoft hit itself a milestone, too. And in Japan, no less. Finally, after a less-than-loving relationship with the land of the rising sun, the Xbox 360 hit its one million sales mark. And to say thank you, they've launched a campaign, aptly named as -- well -- "Thank You."
