As the title suggests, I’d like to know how accurate the PSP software sales are on this site. If they aren’t accurate, where should they be sitting at?
Here are the total software figures that appear in the weekly software and hardware sales for each region.
PSP Software
Japan 19,407,329
NA 53,156,210
Others 4,025,125
WW 76,530,279
The big thing that jumps out is the software sales in Others. With hardware sales at 13M in Others, the tie ratio ends up being a pathetic 0.30. This seems odd as the tie ratio for Japan is 1.94, and 4.02 for NA. Looking at the games database, I added up the sales for the first 50 games that appear when searching for PSP games, filtering on the PAL region. The total came up to 15.38M in sales for that first page alone. So, why does the total on the weekly Others hardware and software page show a total of 4M? There are also quite a few PSP games that are missing sales data for the Others region.
