This was one of the things I didn't understand, a million copies sold from a population of 8 million sounded terrific to me.... and as you've just proved Kumabjorn, it really is terrific since the reality is quite a bit less from an even higher population! Either way, not too shabby figures since there are so many other competing attractions for people to spend their money on. So what's his point?
That he'd like to see a similar ratio of sales in the US?
