And also thanks for everyone stating their opinion i really appreciate this! I didn't expect the EU to win tbh ^^



NA is the most balanced market. I still prefer Japan though, because I prefer handheld over home console.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Now this is a question of your personal opinion. I recently noticed that Americans and Europeans have quite a diffrent taste when it comes to gaming, and to be honest, sometimes when i look up the European Charts i can't help but facepalming at some sales. But then on the other hand we have the US-Gaming Charts which i can much better relate to when it comes to my personal taste of Games. So what's your pick for your favorite Gaming-Charts? And also please state why you picked the one over the other, because i am really curious to hear about what you guys think about this!


@ bold. Can you elaborate with some examples and why?

Europe for me. The US likes shooters too much. Yes, Europe does too, but the ratio is lower. I'll take racing games over FPS. Also, less Nintendo in Europe, and I'm not a big fan of Nintendo. And Europe seems more open to new game concepts, as Sony pointed out at Gamescom. That's why they reveal all the quirky games there.

US. We get more JRPGs and thats my genre right there XD I believe Dragon Quest 8 was the first EU release o.o as my fave series I couldnt live with that being the first v.v plus has EU even gotten SMT4 yet? Heard they've been waiting :P so as a JRPGer, it's the US for me



UK is the worst, therefore I will have to group in the rest of the E.U with them. Sorry!
