Can we have a list of these coutries where only sony sells?

Because I highly doubt they can justify the discrepancy between actual vgchartz numbers and the (partial) ones from other trackers. If I was more distrustful I would think that the EMEAA playstation numbers have been increased to reflect sony shipment data and that's it.

Besides even if those countries are responsible for these numbers it make to me no sense to track something on which you have no sample (because I don't think there is some shop in those countries that sends data to vgchartz). So it would be more honest to simply track Europe. Or at least let's separate real Europe from other countries. It's not like EU it's a small market, and this way a reader could understand data better, and he will know which numbers have basis and which one are more "bogus".

The numbers will still be skewed and will still upset people, on top of making more work for ioi by cluttering sales with 4 regions, one which is ill defined.  I actually feel like it's better this way.  And just because they can't be traced accurately week to week, doesn't mean the numbers are "bogus".  ioi used numbers provided by NINTENDO to make the adjustment.  Sounds like a safe bet.
