Japan is a region, is it not?
And X360 has only sold 234,381 consoles in Japan and it says .32million here. But who cares if it is not exact. As long as it isn't too far off, no problem with it.
The North Pole is a region too. Seeing as how it's unpopulated, I would say that's the easiest to track region - if that's what you're looking for. However, I must say your logic completely escapes me. It's probably smarter if we compare countries to countries, continents to continents, and so forth.
I'm also confused as to how you think vgcharts is roughly 30% off in Japan, but you feel that is "not far off" and have "no problem with it". Especially if it is 30% off in the "easiest to track region" as you claim. That doesn't strike you as odd at all? That doesn't worry you about the other harder to track regions?
So, to summarize... you say you *know* they are off by 30% in the "easiest" to track region (your opinion). You also acknowledge that they are off by about 400k in NA. However, you feel confident about the numbers in the rest of the world?
Wowzers... I'm literally shocked beyond belief.
