Good thing we have the media create/famitsu chart arriving in a couple of days to alleviate that depressing UK chart.

I find Japan's charts far more depressing where everything is 3DS related. Here you see more consoles and games coexisting at least.

Well. It's also about the numbers, altough we cant see them you kind of know in the back of your mind that they're very low (judging from UK numbers on VGChart) compared to bigger markets.

huh? there are only two markets bigger...

These other two markets are in an order of magnitude bigger. UK numbers usually look tiny and insignificant in comparison. Thats why we have Europe/USA/Japan on the frontpage and not UK/USA/Japan. 

well... compared to USA and Europe, Japanese numbers look small too.

Last week

Software:

UK 1.2m

Japan 1.6m

Europe 4.2m (including UK)

USA  3.9m

 

UK represented 10.6% of global sales

Japan represented 14.1% of global sales

 

I think you are a being a little dismissive.  The UK and Japanese markets arent THAT far apart.

Perhaps. A future where we had Global/America/Europe/Asia on the frontpage would be cool. Maybe one dayXD
