Using the data below I think we can all agree that logically it doesn't make sense. There is something off in the VGC accounting for hte PS3 overall. However, I don't think it is just being undertracked in Europe, but probably overtracked in other regions.
However, we must understand that this is all affected by Sony's rounding up of their numbers. They will always present stuff in a rounded up in PR dialogue within reason. So the totals are definitely off depending on how much up they really rounded. Was Europe really 17.5 million? Is worldwide really 37.5 million?
So, in total VGC isn't off by much, especially not any amount to make anybody scream OMG PS3 IS REALLY WINNING!!!!!
I bet VGC is off by less than 1m worldwide if there were a way to know exactly how much shifted to the end user.
