I think this is pretty interesting. Look at the difference in sales between the Sony consoles and the other consoles, heck, the PS2 is ahead of the DS here!

Is the reason due to being avaliable in more areas, or is there another reason?

That gap is amazing.

PS2 just passed 15 friggin million in Middle East, Asia and Africa!  That's epic.  Whaaaat a beast.

And look at the PSP DS gap!  :O

More surprising for me when I saw that table days ago was PS3 > Wii lifetime in these countries... and 25% over.

Nintendo is a conservative company, they probably didn't want to bother much penetrating these "insignifcant" places, and just focus on main terrritories.  Sony has this advantage over the others, they are a hardware company, the others are really software.  They should take advantage, as they are in China and Brazil.

I don't think Nintendo would think selling 3 million units of something as insignificant =/
Nintendo isn't that arrogant or poorly run.

I think it's because Nintendo can't leverage their popular gaming icons like Mario in countries that don't have generations of gamers that grew up playing those games.
