Ok, I have done Others.... In truth I would need to do Japan too, as some games will have total sales data, but not weekly.... but at least most will in Japan, and it's too much of a task.

Shipped VGC
Japan 27.53 21.34
Americas 138.48 60.49
Others 42.55 18.88
Total 208.56 100.71

(in millions of units)

I'm not sure where you got this information on the site, since i don't look at the graphs anymore.  But do the other systems feature these same kinds of data missing.

 

I got it by adding up the data from the game database rather than the sales charts.

And yes, just as I have explained regarding Others software totals before.... the older and less popular the system is (software wise) the more data will be missing.

Xbox will be missing slightly more (percentage wise) than the GameCube because it doesn't have the more accurate Japan to hold it up. The PS2 will have a lot more software missing in total, but because the more modern software is being treacked better, and because it was the more popular system last gen, it will have a smaller percentage of software missing.
(my random guess would be VGC has data for about 60% of it rather than <50% for GC... but I am not about to add up the PS2 numbers because it would take ages)

Just checking the pages.... there were 61 games for GC in America with sales data, and 42 games in others.

For the PS2 it's 430 games in America, and 194 in others.... quite a lot more to add up (I copy paste into a spreadsheet, but the values keep the "m" after the number, so to perform calculations I have to delete each individual m from the cells first.
