@NightstrikerX: The way VGC represents the regions, is the same way the console manufacturers represents them.

When you look at what the financial statements read, you'll notice that regions are based on "importance factor". Japan is kind of odd in Asia, since financially its a "western" country (and politically and by pop structure).
Americas, in the other hand has one big market and a bunch of smaller ones, when it's logical to put as a single market.
Europe, then again, has had a big market for only a decade now, while it still is culturally and financially different.
Outside Japan, USA and EU we have Canada and Australia, which are a little bigger markets. And outside all the above, we have only a number of small markets, such as South-America, non-EU european countries, Russia, China, India, the rest of Asia, african countries and that's just about it.
So when you stack all the not-so-important markets into one (and fuse some into another bigger market), you're starting to make sense with the regions.

@Topic: It's also possible that EU could form one region, while China would be dumped into "others". It's only a matter of growth expectations in China.
