If possible, I hope there are separate charts for Holland (I live in Holland and here is a SONY land), Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway+Finland) and also Australia. These areas are covered by GFK and NPD, so VGC can have some hints from them to estimate the HW and SW. I think plus these countries, the sales figures will be more completed.

For other European countires, Middle East, other Asia countries and Latin Amercia, do we really need to know what the HW and SW there? Everybody knows it is difficult to track there and the estimation has a big margin of error. So I don't see any reason to have the "wrong" data for those regions in order to make up a World Wide HW and SW table.

Just my thoughts. I like the change of this site. Good work done by the team.

....so why do we need to know Holland HW/SW sales and not ones from the middle East,  Is this an  Holland>>>Middle East Geert Wilders mentality =p?

I expect to have Dutch chart not only because I live in this country, but also it is covered by GFK. I konw Dutch market is quite smaller comparing other bigger western European countries. If it is not possible to have Dutch chart, fine with me. But I really suggest making separate Nordic charts and Austrilia chart because Nordic region is covered by GFK and AUS is covered by NPD. I think it will be easy for VGC to make the extrapolation.

For other regions, I don't think it is necessary because it is hard to track for VGC and the sales figures have big margin of error. I understand people expect to have WW sales figures, but if the figures for others are far away from accuracy, what is the point to add them into the WW figures? Only for making up?

No offend to the countries in the "others" group. And I admit that Wilders is a nut.
