Why is it unbelievable? If there's no Wii/360 to buy (or they cost more than the GDP per capita) in most of that region, obviously the PS2 will sell more.

Plenty of Wii and X360 stock here (Middle East). Keep in mind, the PlayStation brand here is very strong.

That's surprising; I mean, it was just as strong in Europe back in 2005/6, yet they completely devoured Playstation market share there so I assumed that there would be an external factor such as lack of distribution and/or ridiculously high costs affecting their sales there.

If you've lived here as long as I have, you wouldn't be. Trust me on that.

Well, I have lived in the MEAA region where it's always been Sony-domination for most of my life, :P. I recall that, in India, I didn't even know about that the PlayStation brand had competition (I thought that Pokemon Battle Revolution was a PS2 game, xD). There, I'm pretty sure that the Wii just wasn't pushed enough (360 had a massive campaign, though, yet I still didn't realize that it was a video game console) or it would've at least made a dent of some sort in the market.
