The point that confuses some people is that all the numbers we get point in a totally different direction than Sonys numbers. Please do not point your fingers at someone who is confused by this. This is not a defense mode, just a simple question.

NPD showed PS3 in a very distant 3rd place and more or less flat for the year.
Media Create showed PS3 in decline. Being down YoY I think due to FFXIII last year.
The UK numbers we get show PS3 in third place.

Now Sony reports shipped numbers and suddenly the PS3 is outselling the Wii by quite a big margin. So I want to know where those PS3s are sold. Somewhere in Africa? not a big enough market. South America where you have to pay $1000 per console? Mexico is more a Xbox360 country.

I think nobody really knows including VGC.

I am not saying overshipped stuff, even though I wouldn't be surprised if Sony calculated things differently. It just puzzles me.

I agree, "Others" accounts for quite a large part of the EMEAA sales, if you think about it.. "others" include countries where people resort to living on $1 a day, as if a system will move large numbers...But I guess it adds Zimbabwe, Egypt, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh etc etc, if at least 100 consoles are sold in each it'll probably already account for like 20k. It is puzzling but be wary of being accused of being a fanboy for questioning the mighty shipped numbers and for insinuating that Sony stuffs channel!
