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?

Plenty of people go to Sears or it would have gone out of business a long time ago. You seem to be taking this personally for some reason.
Sales are ridiculous this time of year. Plenty of people go out shopping. If you didn't know, people start lining up the day before Black Friday just to get at those sales, and some even earlier than that.
Edit: Not sure about them tracking online sales, but they do adjust (some) numbers based on financial reports so I'm pretty sure online sales do factor in.
