It's a good point, but I seriously doubt that the Wii has been officially released in those countries either, so that kind of cancels it out. Same is true here in Asia, most countries import consoles from Hong Kong. I'd really like to see sales figures for HK, I have a feeling they'd be really high, but I've only seen sales for Korea & Taiwan.

As for not believing the figures "because Sony says". Well, that might be fair enough if it was Sony's own figures, but when he says it is from GfK, then I have to believe him. He can't just go around quoting fake GfK figures as Microsoft and Nintendo also know these figures, not to mention that GfK wouldn't be too happy either. When a Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony Executive gives out Chart-Track/Enterbrain/GfK/Media-Create/NPD then you cannot get any more legitimate than that.

Besides, PS3 did lead in Japan last month according to Enterbrain, so the article isn't wrong to say that either.
