The Last of Us did pretty amazing and it would be interesting to see the total revenue for Skylanders including all plastic accessories.

Do you know if digital sales are included? I can't imagine that Skyrim (PC) and Starcraft sold well at retail.

I don't think digital is inlcuded

We really need to do something about the use of commas and full stops. Using a computer in Europe is confusing as hell. I'm willing to adapt the American way of using them if you guys abandon the imperial system.

[Joe Molotov]

The Imperial system are the only measurements found in our Jesus-approved textbooks, because that was what he taught the Native Americans to measure dinosaurs with.

Minecraft isn't a retail release in Europe? or is its lower price putting it below Gears?

[Rufus]

It is, but I guess it just didn't sell as well over here?

[Tasty]

I can't believe LM2 did so well. I knew it would do at least OK but not these numbers.

[HyperZoneWasAwesome]

are you telling me that FIFA Soccer didn't sell 2 million plus copies for this year...

in Europe.

I hesitate to say that sales for most of those are actually good at all.

[Great Rumbler]

are you telling me that FIFA Soccer didn't sell 2 million plus copies for this year...

It was released in September 2012.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah it prob sold 4 million last year already at least.

Sales go down as time moves on and the new fifa looms closer.

By now everyone and their mother are trading 13 in.

You can pick up fifa 12 for 5 euro prob at gamestop and stuff like 11 for 1 euro.
