Agreed, useless. But also kinda fun. Finally a *good* list we norwegians actually tops...

Yay Chicago!

Go Norway!

Come on fellow Americans, surely we need something to distract us from the national debt lol. Skyrim is just the thing!

*sees the beaurocracy expanding to meet the needs of the expanding beaurocracy* ARGH! Reality svcks. *dives back into Oblivion*

...erm, didn't know this was a competition between nations to see who had the most TES fans. I'm a little surprised people are getting so worked up about this and flaming other countries...

I mean, who cares?

Yew, gotta love the commitment by Australian and New Zealand fans.
Finland was a bit of a surprise.

Noes, seeing Denmark UNDER the US makes me sad

More than six might be unusual, but what's so great about guns? They just make loud noises and hurt people. Plus they're in video games anyway, so they ain't got nothing.

Nothing wrong with 1 and 3.

But 2 should be replaced by Skyrim. I'm not getting the reference for 2?(Is it Idiocracy?)

My initial reaction as well. Why Google when you have Bookmarks in your browser?!

Come on Nevada don't let us down, keep hitting those buttons!

Is the search based upon % of the population in the city or what? Because Finland, sweden etc all have very few people living there, less than 10 millions each where Finland has under 6 millions. No way possible that we in Finland would search more in google for skyrim than USA or UK if counted in individuals, perhaps in %, but not in individuals.

I'am an American and I have never googled Skyrim.I just come to these forums every day. In fact I never google game's,I just go to the forums,where there are big ass threads with heaps of info. You never find exactly what your after with google,in fact I bet those countries relay more on google then the us. Google is not even in my most vised list on chrome.

wooho we norwegians have good taste!

Er...guys, the interest for the game is more relevant in sales than in google hits :wave:

Charlie sheen is kicking this games ass on that front.

:blush2: I do it as I can't add Skyrim forum bookmarks to my work computer.

Joke: I like Argonians because Fin-land, see.


How? We're a Nordic country like Sweden and Norway too.

If only belgium had more folks populating them.. Although, we're already overpopulated, maybe just being a bit bigger.

We finns know when there's a good game coming up.

I find it strange that none of the countries which are supposedly the biggest markets for video games made the top ten. I'm thinking of the United States, Germany and Japan, but I only know this from memory and I'm not sure which other countries are equally big for video games.
So... I don't know, I think those statistics might be flawed. It would be good to know what kind of numbers we're talking about here anyway, what does Search Volume Index mean, and is there a Coefficient of Determination feature?

Might also be more interesting to actually take totals instead of percentages. I mean, we're comparing a 300 million people country (USA) with a 5 million people country (Denmark), and Denmark wins.
Even better would be statistics that take into account the number of people who can actually afford internet and/or video games, which should be a higher percentage in European countries as well (you know, because of health care and social stuff like that).

Edit: I'm obviously blind and missed the United States on rank 9 there. So... replace Denmark and its population with Norway and its population, but the point still stands, it's strange that the countries most interested in video games are comparatively low in the ranking.

If it was top 700 maybe my village would have made it in, I typed Skyrim in the google bar at least 200 times myself.

Whoo, Finland is number 6! ... yay?

I figured it would be most popular in USA. But it seems like a lot of Nordic countries like it, so I guess that makes sense.

I haven't had any reason to search for anything about Skyrim, since I already know where to get the information I need.

Same here, I didn't use google at all for Skyrim.
