You know, I always had a feeling that Europe had a thing for torture. I mean, I look at the sales charts for that region, and sometimes I just can't help but wonder why they buy certain games. However, from time to time there is a shred of hope. I present you the software sales for Europe and Ireland, ending 5/29/07:

NEW SUPER MARIO BROTHERSAmazing how NSMB manages to stick around in just about any region's top 30. Semi-related note: My little brother this weekend played NSMB for the first time, and he loved it. Mind you, my little brother only plays racing games, and he's never played a platform game in his 7 years on earth. Pretty interesting how that game can hook just about anyone!
