For goodness sakes Michael calm down. If you'd read the thread, (and the dozen others) you would know we're tracking EXACTLY the same regions as we were before, they're just being split up. Canada will have it's own sales, as will others.

This site already offered a lot of FREE data (please bare this in mind) so you should be grateful you got it as long as you did (PS2 sales).

How about SW Top30 instead of the previous Top50? Top30 can be enough for the smallest markets tracked (below 30th place in dead periods and small markets numbers could be too little and unreliable), but even Top50 is measly for global and barely enough for USA, Europe and Japan.

My suggestion is:

Global Top100

USA, Europe and Japan Top50

Other markets Top30

You don't think that will be a bit too hard? But yes SW Top 30 for smaller markets seems like a goid idea

Top50 is what we got (upgraded from the previous Top40) for each region and WW before the last site restyling. Top100 WW would really be needed in intense periods like BF-Xmas, but hey, even Top80 WW could be fine. What's for sure, Top30 is horribly insufficient for WW, USA, Europe and Japan, and it's barely enough for UK.

Edit: SW charts just got upgraded to Top40, but you can see what I mean, in the WW chart games are cut out of the chart selling less than 54k the week before BF (the latest currently charted), and less than 21k in Europe and 24k in USA: even with Top40 a lot of important games are cut out. Anyway, as the charts are currently being upgraded, we can hope for the best. Top40 for UK is already fine, for example, and for Japan too this week is more than enough despite a lot of new releases. So right now the only gimped charts are WW, USA and Europe, while Japan could need more than Top40 only in weeks bigger than this one.
