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.

 

  VGC Americas VCG Japan VGC Others VGC % of total sales
 PS3     14,310,511    5,307,180    16,164,502 45%

 

Sony Europe Sony % of total ship On Shelves in Europe % of total on shelves
   18,000,000 47%    1,835,498 83%

 

VGC Total Sony Total On Shelves Total est on shelves amer/jp
   35,782,193    38,000,000    2,217,807               382,309


EMEAA is not same as EU. For EU vgchartz has PS3 at 13million.


Where do you get only EU numbers from. It seems Europe is bigger in Sony's use than just EU. Hence why I used Others as that is pretty much only Europe due to everyone else's sales being really small.

One could suppose Europe here means everything falling under SCEE, which would mean Europe, Middle East and Africa I think. So it's not all of Others but it is bigger than just Europe.

They really should clarify what they mean.. As in conference they said EU and not whole SCEE but maybe they meant whole SCEE. aarghh. I guess we will know the truth when they release their next quarter report. if the difference is still couple of million with vgchartz we have undertracked PS3 and if not they overshipped PS3 last quarter.
