Then its just confusing in general. I see no reason why VGChartz cannot give explicit U.S. numbers. I suspect the reason for the combination is that it gives a little more fudge factor for the numbers because they can always say the split between the U.S. and Canada/Mexico changes and it differs for different products.

I pointed out above, Canada and South America are definitely more heavily weighted for PS3 this month. Probably not enough to account for the discrepancy entirely but they almost certainly represent more than 87% this month.

Whether or not that is true, it would make a hell of a lot more sense to say U.S.A. + Other America than just lumping them into the one.

I support Squill in the call for by country weekly HW numbers covering the Americas. Just like is done for Others HW - http://www.vgchartz.com/ehweekly.php for the uninitiated. At least break it down by USA, Canada, Mexico and Other America.

It's good that The Source provides an official VGC USA estimate in the OP of the official NPD thread, but why not make an Americas weekly HW breakdown a formal part of this site?
