Mike:
Based on VGChartz reported data Italy accounts for over 15% of worldwide (minus North America and Japan) PS3 DMC4 sales, IMO that doesn't sound right. Based on PS2 data you will rather expect Italy to account for ~10% of sales for Europe alone.
I don't think you can make such assumptions. Even if PS2 accounted for one tenth of PS2 userbase this doesn't mean that PS3 userbase will be also 10% (Vgchartz by the way says it's 9%) and for sure it won't mean that every PS3 game will sell 10% of its totals in Italy.
Actually DMC4 is quite succesful and Italy: 14k is a decent number there and most of the times except for November/Decemter top selling game sells much less than this. Thus it's rational to assume that DMC4 sold in Italy more than you would assume from its userbase.
