The report makes no sense.

What record has it broken? Surely a game has sold more then 45k in 1 day in Italy before? That seems really low considering the amount of consoles sold there.


I think the issue is the game sold 45k copies in day -1...

before the release...



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Italy is 1% of World population. So 45k preordes in Italy = 4.5M preorders WW.  O-)

45k pre-order on Italy = record.

No other game made this before.

The figure of 10% or 9.4% for Italy in EMEAA is hardware, I'm having a bit of trouble looking it up but does anyone know what percentage of software Italy purchase?

I think software % would give a slightly clearer picture than hardware % as to how this would reflect total sales in EMEAA.

Not only that, but nobody can infer the actual sales from the preorders, since the preorders/total sales ratio is unknown for Italy.
