No just sayin' that you're cherry picking as usual. Taking into account amazing GT sales last gen in EMEAA it's no surprise that it's a beast there, but if you want a "fair" comparison of sorts then you should compare games strongest territories(where the sales are most centric) for COD/Halo/GTAIV the strongest regions are US, so it's no surprise that GT5 comes out on top.

Ps. Before I get ambushed by the PS3 rabid crowd, no I am not trying to downplay GT5 success.

But if somebody wanted to know what the best selling games of all time are in EMEAA, how else would they go about doing it?

You're saying he's cherry picking because GT5 does exceptionally well in EMEAA in comparison to the competition, but that's exactly the point he's trying to make.

Now michael-5 pointing out numerous games ethomaz overlooked is an understandable complaint.  :P

You could technically say anything is cherry picking because no 2 comparisions are 100% fair. If you want to know what are the best selling games in EMEAA, what ethomaz did is completly fine.

However using this data and comparing GT5's success compared to games which are more popular in other regions (e.g. Call of Duty, Halo), that's not fair. This is what NotStan is pointing out because although GT5 is a killer in EMEAA, it's still nowhere nearly as big as CoD.

i.e. Just because GT5 is as strong as CoD in it's stronges region, doesn't mean it's overall sales will come close to Black Ops overall.
