Forums - Sales - Why aren't EU sales tracked for certain games ?

Some PS3 games don't have PAL sales ? Why ?

Rock Band and Hot Shots Golf don't have PAL sales. (They could be million sellers with PAL numbers). Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Rainbow Six Vegas too..

However, games such as Oblivion (PS3) and the God of War games (PS2 ones) have PAL figures added without weekly sales. These numbers could be outdated ? Shadow of the Colossus doesn't have PAL sales figures....

Did those games not sell enough during their 1st week ? Thats unlikely as God of War is kinda popular in Europe..

 Check the orange board thing...

For games released this gen it is simply that they did not sell enough on a week to week basis to be counted. For older games it is because the data has not yet been released by a reliable source.

Tracking game sales isnt done so easily,and EU makes it even more difficult.

But Oblivion is pretty popular in EU no ?

Oblivion might be old enough to predate the software tracking. If not then it was around in the early days which were a bit rough while they ironed out the wrinkles.

We need ioi in here..lol



Chances are you will get the same response I gave you. Software tracking is improving all the time. Getting data on all the titles missing some will take a long time. This is a massive undertaking, and a lot of that data is not close to readily available.

hm...
Shame...Rock Band should probably be a million seller...



yeah, i think VgChartz should make an informed estimate on games which they have a lack of sales infomation. If they are proved to be wrong they could always alter it at a later date and as long as they are fair there would be no reason to complain.

Are you sure Rock Band even came out in Europe on ps3?
