Gears of War is doing better then I thought in the Canadian market. I guese all my friends that have a 360 have the game so its expected. I actually never expected NHL 07 to be the top game either.

Does the Canadian gaming market make much of a difference compared to the US market?

well the 360 is at about 4.5m units sold in the us and is around 500-600k in canada.

also i believe canada has 10-30m people ? Which at 30m ten times less than the 300m in the usa

Canada has thirty million people, give or take a few on both sides, so they're doing about as well as can be expected. Their tastes, aside from a few differences, mirror our own, so that isn't a surprise, either. Interesting numbers all the same. Good work.

The biggest difference is the swap between Madden and NHL.
