20K in Finland, a tiny country, should translate to well over 1 million in Europe first day.

How was GT5 expected to sell 1st week in Europe (before the reviews came out)?

 

Double that, using grade school math and population sizes nothing more shows.

Eu sales - 2 million

Europe - 2.76 million

I'd like to know what you consider the difference between 'Eu' and 'Europe'? EU? Anyway, I doubt it's that simple.

Eu has a population of 500 million.  Europe as a whole has 731.

Sure these is wealth differences between nations gaming popularity and for example UK population sure while smaller then Germany of France is responsible for higher game sales.  But Finalnd sales and pop with a little math show those numbers, far from scientific but should give a general sense of what first day sales could/might/should look like there.
