haha like you wouldn't know japan isn't emeaa. funny ethomaz is funny... it was always an own part on vgchartz and you know that. maybe you should have said emeaap or so then.

I said PS3 will sold 715k WW this week with over 400k in EMEAA (Europe  + AP/MEA - yeah Japan is here too)... it sold 700k... 15k less than I predicted.

Europe Mid East Africa Asia

Japan is Asia, no?

That prediction doesn't actually make any sense, though. If you're predicting 400k in Europe, Mid, East, Africa and Asia, and 715k worldwide, you're essentially predicting 315k in Americas. Considering USA is the vast majority of Americas, you were predicting just shy of 300k to be sold in USA.

That would have been an increase of 100k week-on-week in USA, or an increase of 53%, which would have made for an absolutely horrible prediction.

If you didn't count Japan as part of EMEAA, you made a good-to-decent prediction that missed very barely. If you count Japan as part of EMEAA, you just made an incredibly odd prediction.
