Look... ioi only started putting up figures for software in Europe/Others in late 2007..... the majority of games relased before that have no data whatsoever, only the highest weekly regulars have old data (which mostly means DS games)


All software totals (not any specific game, but the total) in "others" are very low. The older a system is, and the fewer hit games it has then the bigger the discrepancy.
PSP is about the same age as the DS, but PSP is missing a lot more software because DS has had more titles up near the top of the charts.

So, PSP software total is poor, but no where near as poor as it gives here on VGC. I would argue the current total needs to be multiplied by about 6 to reach a ballpark figure (about 30 million software)

DS and X360 are also missing significant amounts of software for "others" DS is older than X360, but DS has it's high selling weekly regulars included so they likely even out. I think a multiplier of slightly over double would give ballpark figures for these two. (155 million for DS and 60 million for X360)

Wii and PS3 are the least affected by this as they are the newest systems, Wii has better weekly staples like Wii Play, but in Europe it is a few months older than the PS3, os again they probably even out. A multiplier of about 1.3-1.4 seems about right based on Nintendo's shipment report. (80 million for Wii, 45 million for PS3)
