Actually, I think this game sells well in Europe and Latin America, NBA is the second most popular sport in most places after football.

And, sure, I can concede that they overshipped by 100% (I doubt it, but you guys seem sure about it), it still doesn't excuse the pitiful state of these chartz. I mean, they even have concrete NPD numbers (thanks Boutros and others, I didn't know them before) and still make a 50% error at best. After being late over a month.

Isn't basketball mostly popular in southern/eastern Europe though? Not exactly the largest markets for game sales, can't see it doing all that well in latin America either. FIFA/PES don't even do huge numbers there and even if basketball is popular there it's not even going to be close to football in the larger countries such as Brazil. Besides, I've also seen claims that some games sold in latin America are actually US imports so would have been included with the NPD sales anyways.

I'm from latin america, and everybody here buy fifa and pes, basketball isn't that popular.
