ANALYSIS:

Darksiders 2 is most popular on PS3 in France and Germany, while it is more popular on Xbox in the US and the UK. The world-wide PC community is most likely buying it on Steam where it is currently ranking amongst the Top 10 most-sold games.

In Japan, the game seems to be oddly unpopular. France is known to be a good market for video games and is one of the top contender for most-sold copies per country in the EU (of course US is bigger and will sell more copies)

The UK and Japan is known to like extravagant games. Although Darksiders 2 is a mature game, the game will not be as popular as Saints Row in the UK or Japan.
