The American charts are only down temporarily. Given the number of games, it could take a while to update them, I imagine. It would be nice to see WW game sales below 1 million, but it also becomes sort of meaningless. Remember, that WW sales data is shipments, not sell-through, so for a lot of games you'd just be seeing sales expectations and not real data. Unless they are counting returned units in there, you could have two games at 400K, one which actually sold through twice what the other did.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
