World of Warcraft - Image 1What are they playing over at Sweden? Aren't you curious? This bit of info just might save your life one day, y'know. The region's data trade firm, Dataspelsbranschen (now try saying that as fast as you can, ten times consecutively), has just released the top sales charts of video games for Sweden.

The Multiplatform chart is dominated by the MMORPG mogul that is The World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade from Blizzard. This is followed by Pokémon Diamond on the Nintendo DS. MotorStorm and R:FoM have also landed a place in the multiplatform chart, and unsurprisingly, both titles get bragging rights in the PS3 chart.

The 360 chart has Guitar Hero II fronting the musical act - and smack dab in the middle is Gears of War on fifth place. The Wii has Leon Kennedy and Ashley Graham running up to first place with Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, while Twilight Princess is galloping up to the Top 2 spot.

On the handheld side, the DS chart has both Pokemon (Diamond and Pearl) titles on top, while the PSP chart has Pro Evolution Soccer 6 kicking into the goal - Konami's sports title is enjoying the kingly spot on top.

oh my dear god you swedish lamers! I really hope from the bottom of my heart that you DO NOT come to the forums speaking your sh*tty language that no-one understands! Why is it that the Finnish gaming charts never make it here? (Retional question, do not answer!)

And this is for you, you swedish bastards!: "Jag är från Finland och jag tycker swedish are bastards!"

And for my finnish colleagues: "Ruottalaiset pilaa tän koko paikan!"

 » va fan!?

Wow.... seriöst va e det för fel på alla....

Sims e inte så konsigt eftersom 90% av landets befolkning melland 11-18 består av äckliga fjortisar men att folk fortfarande köper wow måste vara fel...

Jag jobbar på ebgames och det är i princip ingen som kommer in och köper wow längre. Gamecards, säljer bra men själva spelet börjar dö

 » I'm DISAPPOINTED!!

What the hell is this?
Why are people in my country buying these ***** games?

I blame the DS, I see too little PSPs around here.

 » SWEDISH charts?

I just can't understand why SWEDISH gaming charts would be published here. Not very interesting, even for us Swedes. I mean, if Swedes were interested in the seeling numbers, we certainly wouldn't go to QJ to check it out. And I'm not planning to either. We have www.gamereactor.com for that purpose - not that it's great, but it's sufficient and Swedish.

I understand that US readers don't think this is very interesting, because it's barely interesting even for Swedes. Gaming charts in general, even, are not that interesting.
