I think its great... sort of surprised more people aren't all over it.

(4 of the 15 posts in that thread are from me... so come on everyone, get on there and disagree with me!).

Would love to see a NA version. The closer we can get to "some" form of fresh sales data arriving every day, the better.

ioi - can you outline the schedule you use for posting sales data on the site? i.e.:

Wed - Europe/Other charts updated

Thurs - NA

Friday - Japan

Sat - 1st day sales Japan (following week) 

Sunday - Prelim sales 

yeah, it would be great to have some early data for NA as well :)

Yeah, it's a great feature.
If it would be possible to do one for NA, then all the better.

Anyways, keep the good stuff coming.

My problem with those are that they are too wordy. I can take a glance at it, but I usually would have to read the whole thing to find the parts that I am interested in. I would like it if there was a quick summation at the end.

Ioi, if it would be possible for you, you should give us a piece of sales data everyday, so people will visit the site 24:7 because there is always something new

And yes, I love the new feature.

If we could fill Thursday and Friday with preliminary data for NA and Others and the weekly report some days later, maybe on Saturday, it would be great but for the numbers,  it is probably not possible. Weekly report on Saturday, on the other hand, should be possible to do.

BTW when do we get the first day Japan sales, regularly? They are worth a big update, too.

Ahh, I have been living in AU time (1 day later).

Yeah, great idea - something on Friday (US time) would be perfect (1st day Japan?).

And even if you get US prelim figures on Sunday, maybe hold off updating them till Monday?

...

Depends also if having to update the figures every 1-2 days would irritate you :)

ioi - sort of off topic, but I had a thought...

You considered some form of "premium" content? Not premium as in people have to pay for it - but such that they have to be signed in.

A simple one would be to restrict the charts data that is shown (maybe top 20 only, no software overall, etc..).

Nothing too major - but to really encourage people to sign up. Once they are signed up, I think you'll see a lot more of them participating in the threads.

An NA pre-elim chart would be great! I'd love to see pre-elim data for games, and hardware.

Hasn't ioi done that already, I thought you could only see the top 50s unless you are signed in?

I've created a story on digg for this so lets click and let everyone know about all this cool stuff:
