But as i said above you can't really use numbers from these places as you would have to go through individually and remove places where 360 is not released. Like for example China, the most populated planet on earth. Many Middle Eastern countries. In reality if you went through each of those countries and removed the ones without a 360 release the PS2 total would be a lot lower.

Either way it does not matter, 360 has outsold PS2 in americas,europe and japan since it's release.

 

that's like saying the sales there do not count!, which is not the case this is a site that has "WORLD WIDE" sales total's does it not?

so just because the XBOX360 is not released into those areas is not the fault of the other countries and their sales..

say for instance as an example: If the PS3 or the Wii was not released in the US market and the xbox360 was would you than exclude the US because the Wii and the PS3 was not released there...?

Yes it does count.....

For example as i mentioned China. 360 is not released there. PS2 is. The point of his findings was to say that since 360 has been released PS2 has sold more. If your going to do that you can't include PS2 data from countries where there is no 360. Plus on top of that as i mentioned you would have to go through each individual country and count the numbers from when the 360 released. In a lot of regions the release was a lot later then everywhere else.

For example,

India = September 2006

South America = december 2006

Asia = feb 24th 2006

Oceana = 24th march 2006

Philipines = may 2006

etc etc

The point is the reason the PS2 has sold more then 360 is down to "others" regions. Places that have had varied 360 releases and in many cases none at all.

Basically his method is showing you total sales of PS2 since 360 was released worldwide. In that instance he is correct.

However as shown if you break down each region based on when the 360 was actually released in each region he is wrong. In terms of collecting data you can't use numbers that are prior to 360's actual release as that would make the numbers false. That is what he has done.
