I loved how we can now see each European country's sales. Is it possible that we can see the sales of the US state by state?

I wonder if people'll start talking about the console wars like a Presidential election, and talk about which states are "swing states" and such =P

That would be awesome, but I don't think it's feasible.

I would bet that California buys the most games, then New York, then Florida.

Yep. I hope that VGCz can get a few marketing/sales people who'll frequent this site, and say Sony/MS/Nin need to concentrate here, already dominate here, etc.

Now your just asking for too much. Oh Vgchartz you spoil us so!!!! :)

I'd guess it's not feasible - would massively increase the amount of sampling required.

And probably less accurate, as there wouldn't be the monthly cross-check with NPD.

And probably not all that informative either, as I'd guess the sales patterns would breakdown more by, say, city v rural suburban rather than by state - unlike in Europe where there are pretty massive cultural differences between countries.

I think they are able to track different EU countries because the sources of which they get their data from is from firms that only operate in singular EU countries.

In the US a lot of the firms are across-states, and such.

My examples being: if VGC were to get data from GAME, that would mean that they're getting data for just the UK (and RoI, which I think is included in the UK data), however, if they were to get data from their American partner, Best-Buy, the data would be for the entirety of the US.

That's what you get for having open borders for much longer than we have.

They only track a couple 50 million people European countries.

The average US state has 300 million / 50 = 6 million inhabitants

California has ~55 million people in it.

I think it´s easier to separate the americas chart in four, US, Canada, Mexico and Rest of America.

It'd be better if every country was tracked in the americas just like how other's is done.

Seems like a waste of time to track each state.
