Adding "sales" to infobox
I think it would be a good idea to add global or regional sales of a game to this infobox. It's use would be optional, but it would be good because not all articles have sales infomation. Does anyone agree?
- Make a TTP if you feel it is necessary PTR (trivialWarlord)
- I think sales should go in the reception section/the opening paragraph like on Super Mario Galaxy personally. Raven Effect (talk)

Hi everyone! I'm proposing to add 'sales' as a parameter to the {{Infobox}} template. As I said above, it would be necessary because often this information is overlooked, and if it was added to the infobox, it would push users to fill it. Responding to a comment above, yes, the info can go elsewhere on an article, but wouldn't it be better to collect it in the infobox?

Support (add parameter)
Oppose (leave infobox as it is)
- Walkazo (talk) - I feel like it'd be better to use sales as a way to try and motivate users to create full-on Reception sections: it's an easy jumping-off point, onto which more in-depth info can be added. Sales also need explanations a lot of the time, especially if there's more than one region, and that'd better suited to paragraph form, rather than just sticking the numbers in an infobox.
