As I posted in the PAL charts thread (which no-one seems bothered to post in), 360 games often chart higher than PS3 games in Netherlands, so this isn't a big surprise to anyone who frequents those threads. Same in Sweden sometimes, so 360 GTA IV has a chance to be #1 there too, although it's unlikely to chart higher in any of the other individual format charts we get apart from UK.

360 is quite strong in UK, Ireland, Netherlands, and Scandinavia. IMO the latter countries seem to be the countries in Europe which are most culturally similar to England, and the strongest English speakers. If you look at other countries outside of Europe where 360 is strong (US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa) they're all  Anglo Saxon markets. Maybe online is more fun for English speakers, or maybe culturally these countries prefer the genre of games which are most prevelant on 360.
