I heard that racing games are very popular in South America. Anyway we cannot base our estimations on what we hear or not.
Also you can't include South Korea or any other asian countries (maybe even not Middle East countries, since they are part of Asia after all) because the op (and PD) included them into his calculation. PD shipped 230k copies in Asia.
So if the whole Latin America count for 8.3% of the Americas, and that VGC has 1.459M for GT5 in 2010, then it means Latin America sold 121k copies of GT5.
Latin America is 600 million people and its people are generally more rich than in Africa. So even if Africa is 1 billion, I don't think it can sell as much as 600k or 700k . As for the small european countries PD included them in Europe.

Okay yea true, but games like GT5 sold twice as well in EMEAA, so with a matching population, that's more like 240k game sales.
Anyway, my point is Africa has a significant gaming population, and the Europe in that study is only 17 countries, not 50 (although the other countries are significantly smaller), and the Middle East also has strong gaming populations. Europe does not account for 80% or great of the EMEAA (at least not the 17 larger countries).
South America, at only 8% of 21.5 million PS3 units is only 1.6 million PS3 consoles. Middle East Africa and Asia is 5 million, and I bet 3 million of that is outside of Asia. Add in another 1.5/3 million from Other Europe, and that's about 3x the console user base of Latin America. 3x the user base with 2x the sales per userbase, that's 720k or so, almost exactly what the P thinks these games are overtracked by.
GT5 is not overtracked, same with Halo and others. End of Story.

It seems you haven't read a word of my last post.
Anyway your numbers are just pulled out of a hat and doesnt even make sense, like pretending there is more PS3 in Africa than in Asia... and 2x the sales per userbase?
You did not prove that these games are not overtracked. End of Story.

GT5 sold twice as well per console in EMEAA over America.
Also I said 3/5 million PS3 sales in MEAA are from Africa AND Middle East, giving Asia the largest territory.
Read your last post, but I think your ignoring mine.
