@BKK2: Will you also add up all the weeks in the weekly chart? It is probably for all of Europe for as far as possible instead of only the major European countries.

Maybe, but that's 123 different values to pixel count compared to only 4 for the YTD chart. It's a lot of work considering we don't know what countries are included and the only source given is Nintendo. We should have GfK numbers for Italy and Switzerland soon which we can add when we get them.

They have LTD charts for PS3, Wii, and DS, but Europe seems to be missing some countries.

I think someone already did some pixel counting when we got similar charts 6 months ago. Of course it will miss the data from the last 6 months, but it might at least mean the first 3 months don't need to get counted again.

I'm a bit surprised about the chart showing PS2 at only 32 million sold in Europe, I'm pretty sure earlier released numbers put it a lot higher, so you're right that it must be missing certain parts of Europe. Does anybody know in which European countries Gfk covers the videogame industry?
