It was released when people had shifted their minds towards PS3/360 so, it was inevitably swallowed whole. I bought it though, and loved it. I still own it and have no need to buy a shinier, prettier version so I won't get it again.

I think the point was touting it was "73% higher" is meaningless when the sales you're comparing it to weren't impressive to start. It might have done much better in other regions, though. SotC has always been a highly-regarded but niche game.

If VgChartz is to be believed, SotC only shifted 30k copies lifetime on ps2 in Europe

1.14m total, yet Europe hated it?

73% higher on practically nothing is indeed not impressive. At least it tops the charts.
