[heyheyhey]

lol this is getting ridiculous

[Dipso]

@Hey Hey...

What's getting ridiculous?

[heyheyhey]

all the sales charts that's what...

they should all be consolidated into a single "European sales" article

i mean... are we going to get an influx of random charts every week?

[DelbertGrady]

San Marino sales chart.

[poindat]

At least it is a nice change from all the NPD/Vgchartz data, which seem to be the only things we get around here.

[Dmitry Orlov]

it's getting rediculous, that people post news of the sales in different countries (it's not even the 2nd article about this matter).
It's like someone wants to prove something to somebody.
Why not post an article with software chart of Africa?

[Dipso]

As was stated there is no singular European chart so I think its only fair we get to see what's happening in Europe. I'm Irish and I'm interested to see how a game like Killzone is selling there for two reasons A) There was a pretty big advertising campaign and B) Its nice to play against your fellow country men sometimes.

As for the African charts being posted? What's so ludicrous about that?
I'm sure it will be of interest to someone.

[christian hour]

Yeah, killzone 2 was advertised really well in Ireland, I never understood why people were saying sony did a bad job on advertising it, when it was practically on the side of every bus, bus stop, billboard (right next to "WHAT GOT YOUR ATTENTION!? I DID!", and if anyone can explain to me what thats about, please do), in magazines, all over irish tv and it even had radio ads!

[IrishAssa]

Yea I would really like to know, I was staring at it the other day thinking what the point in it was, was there some hidden message??

[christian hour]

All i could gather was that its somehow connecting people... at least, thats what their slogan is at the bottom, or something. I could've sworn that was nokias slogan though. I guess we'll never know. Unless one of us is brave enough to follow the weblink at the bottom of the billboards. I hope their website has a better design than their billboard.

[silvacrest]

everyone goes ape over NPD so this is fine in my books plus, there is no european chart so i think the OP is doing well to post all these countries one by one

on a side note this does show that the doom and gloom articles are unjustified

[psycho360]

What sales charts atleast mention the number of units? If kz2 is sold 10k on being number 2 so what is so great about it?

[BMS84]

But i kinda agree, they should only approve big European countries and not all the countries.

[SoapShoes]

Even if it only sold 10k or less, it still sold better than the other games, so what is so great about the sells of those other games? If you're going to harp on KZ2 having low sells, you should just know that the other games got lower sells. ;)

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

Thought the U.S.of.A was the only Country in the World, according to n4g.com and those NYPD sales...er erm NPD sales??? ;-D
Have they discovered Google Earth??? ;-D

[kewlkat007]

1 copy sold in the "khasakistan " weekly charts.

[christian hour]

Yay your ignorance and prejudice towards middle-eastern countries is extremely apparent. Are you perhaps, American?

Wow I'm beginning to appear very anti-american in this topic. haha. I think i should move to North Korea!

[patterson]

The Irish have good taste.

[Gun_Senshi]

The world is not US and freakin A. NPD Sales are US only. VGCharts are US only.

Europe is not UK only like you think!

Bring on the charts of all other european countries. They made a huge difference together. Since where is no one source for all EU countries together we have to settle for this.

Hate on fanboys, because European have better taste then Americans and these charts don't ring the bell for you.

[christian hour]

We also have better box art than americans. Their box art is so... Whats the word? American! ICO been a great example! Or the american versions of final fantasy box art... Or the american versions of metal gear box art, same with the resi series. EU and JAP box art = good... american box art = bad. But then I guess its reflective of their consumerist ooh flashy colors lifestyle.

And I don't mean all americans, i just mean the 70% of the population that are just plain retarded (every country has them, in ireland and the UK, we have chavs, townies, neds, scumbags etc :P).

[The Lazy One]

NPD is north america. Not just the US. It's a whole continent.

Chart track is working on doing stats for the whole of europe, so by then it should actually be significant. I still don't think Irish charts are really significant, but that doesn't mean they should be banned. There's been worse things posted.

[Irish-Republican]

any1 watch the rugby ireland kicked ass

[christian hour]

AMAZING MATCH! Those last ten minutes were the craziest ten minutes of nail biting Rugby I've ever witnessed. That penalty at the end, I almost SHAT myself! G'WAN THE IRISH!!!!!

[ElementX]

Ok these charts are pointless. I want numbers, but all these countries don't have official numbers. Why post this garbage? A game could be #1 and only sell 1,000 copies, yet #10 might sell 800 copies? See where I'm going? Without numbers, you can't look at things in perspective.

[KingKionic]

anyone can tell me why these charts dont get submited often? we need them to be submited more . thanks to the contributor. and lol killzone still on the top list.
