Thanks! (It is always hard to explain your math calculations to others, thought that the jump to percent would make some people confused) 

Yes, there are many ways these numbers are what they are, most probably they come from some statistical calculations from ioi:s personal database. I have never seen them explained or even discussed, but I could easily have missed the explanation.

I believe the Wii sort of tanked around 2011 (correct me if I am wrong).  I would assume that the ROW picked up a Wii between 2011-current as opposed to the PS3 and the XB360, which had longer shelf lives.  

As stated previously, I believe price is a huge factor in determining when these consoles are purchased for the rest of world and I believe that the current prices for the PS3 and XB360, although still high, have come down considerably from the initial asking price.  The Wii started with a pricetag of $250 and can currently be bought for $100.  

If you compound Wii's cheaper pricetag and its shorter shelf life, then that probably explains why the Wii has a lower percentage for the ROW at this current moment.
