Forums - Website Topics - Would you Like UK to get its own tab on VGC?

UK is often times one of the most talked about countries on this site because its importance to games.  ISnt it like the 2nd biggest country behind America?  Japan being third.  SOmebody will correct me if im wrong.  Anyways i know it is lopped in with Europe but i was curious if people would want its own tab on the front page?

I don't know if it really needs it's own tab. The problem is, North American tab I believe represents three countries. And if not still 360 million people. Japan may only represent 130 million, but gaming is MASSIVE in Japan. The rest of Europe accounts for somewhere around 700 million I believe. UK is only 60 million. Maybe a tab for UK and former colonies could work. So like UK and Australia.



Japan is overall bigger due to handhelds.



The reason why NA and JAPAN are on the Sales Charts is because of the Population, the UK doesn't even have Half of the Population of JAPAN so therefore I think it deserves no place as its own so as with everything else in Europe it should be placed with all of it.

And population wise also.

No, in with Europe is fine. While it is bigger than the other parts of europe individually, it's best suited where it is. Japan is different so has different figures which is good to see, UK would just be a smaller US with an occasional spike at FIFA.

Now Korea on the other hand.



Hmm, pie.

No I don't think the UK need its own tab...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

They gave Aliens Colonial Marines too much love so my answer is a big no!
