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.

Yeah, I highly doubt that it only sold 30k lifetime in Europe. Anyway, I'm sure someone on GAF/Era has the numbers for SotC, so we'll probably know precise figures soon enough.
