But the Pound is at record lows versus the Euro. You dismiss the UK because the dollar is weak, and then dismiss it because the Euro is strong, you can't have it both ways.

@BKK2:

Don´t know the link, but this are the japanese stats from Famitsu, I saved them awhile ago:

Yeah, I think I read that before, maybe they haven't announced how many units of software were sold. It seems that the Japanese figure doesn't include accessories either.

Australia $62,47 21.263.170 1.328.300.000 $


Those are Australian dollars. X-rate was USD 0.8737821661 / A$1 on Jan 1 2008. So that figure should be US$1,160,600,000. This also includes accessories, excluding these it's A$1,250,000,000 or US$1,092,000,000.
Canada $33,40 33.233.700 1.500.000.000 $


1.500.000.000/33.233.700 = $45.13

Edit: Corrected $A X-rate error.

US market excluding accessories was $16,590,000,000. Switzerland's figure also includes accessories, but we don't have separate figures to deduct this, same for Canada.

UK is so high bc its currency exchange, this is showing actual value in terms of dollars not in size scope or penatration, that is implide but not an accurate picture. And someone asked this about Japan but so you all know games in japan often cost less than in the USA for like a new Wii game it isnt uncommon for its price to translate into 40 USD


That fails to explain why UK is so high compared to other European countries too. Calculate it by GDP per capita and I'm sure UK would still be top of the list.
Of Corse the british spend the most they are the richest contry probly per person now. Although Irland has the Highsest percapita GDP weel Irland is part of UK depending on which Ire
