You can add the software numbers for Canada in there, at least for those titles that are in the VGChartz top 10. By the way, when did Zelda PH release in Canada? Cause I am quite surprised it is not in the top 10.

360 HALO 3 = 135K
360 NHL 08 = 54.5K
PS2 NHL 08 = 41.7K
360 HALO 3 LEGENDARY ED = 27.2K
WII PLAY W/ REMOTE = 25K
360 HALO 3 COLLECTORS ED = 24.9K
PS3 NHL 08 = 20.8K
NDS BRAIN AGE 2: MORE TR. = 20.8K
WII METROID PRIME 3: CORR. = 16.4K
PS2 GUITAR HERO 2 W/GUITAR = 15K
