It´s a mistery that VGChartz is strugling to "adjust".

Considering how things are going in Japan and the figure NPD shows us, why Europa and "rest of the world" are giving an almost 200% boost on the PS4 over the Wii needs a explanation.

Playstation has always been a more global brand then any other gaming brand, especially since the PS2. The PS3 is set to outsell the Wii in Europe and has already done it in the rest of the world (Vgchartz data), what do you think the PS4 will do in those markets?

There are other threads where I exposed the numbers PS4 would have to be pulling in Europe to reach the 10mi mark since we basic know the USA and Japan situation.

I just think that when things shift so much from a previous pattern there should be a good reason.

In the USA we know that the price of the PS4 over its direct competitor, and the no show of the third player, gave it a boost in market share. We know the lack of japanease games are damaging PS4 sales in Japan. 

But the ratio in Europe shifted from 4:3 or 5:3, PS3/360 in the last few years to basicaly 5:1, PS4/XOne. VGChartz numbers without adjust to 10mi, and if the majority the undertracking is comming from Europe sales (and XOne sales are accurate) the sales ratio for this year could be 7:1 or 8:1.

XB1 is getting slaughtered in Europe, no surprise there. We all know it's true. There's nothing that suggest the ratio isn't that high...
