Forgive me if I'm wrong as I don't live in the US but Thursday was Thanksgiving right? Are the shops normally open that day? I assumed they closed. My point being that are these numbers not 2 days EMEAA and 1 day US/Japan or have I got that wrong?

That's a good point.  I know Wal-Mart is open, but closes pretty early.  Other than that, I think most retail stores are closed.  This means that those sales would be held off til Black Friday, which would have given GT5 a nice boost without that fact.  So yea, technically it's 2 days in EMEAA, and only 1 day in US/Japan.

Sears, Kmart, Toyrus all opened on Thursday; I do not believe it was the whole day though. Online retailers still took orders as well. Only the US had a holiday, the rest of Americas did not. So it is correct stating that it is 2 days sale in the Americas.

Vgchartz does not track online sales and Toysrus was open for 2 hours (10pm) for blackfriday door busters.... and who the fuck goes to sears?

And again... How many people are wandering around looking for a game when almost the whole nation is shut down having dinner with their family?
