Interesting how the buggy and unfinished SH2 sold more than SH3 ... doubtlessly because of the multiplayer sub vs. destroyer. Also may be the bad reputation of SH2 damaged SH3 later? Had more widespreaded piracy a direct impact in SH3/4 sales?

Even if unfinished, I bet that the reason that SH4 sold less was also because of it being about US subs. The myth of the grey wolves in popular culture is still much spreaded than the US boats campaign, and that shows here.

Also, Neal, do those figures for SH4 include Uboat missions??

One final consideration: If the amount of recent Sh games sold goes up to

nearly 240.000, then 1.260.000 sales in the franchise go to the good original SH 1
