Around 300,000 PS3s sold in Benelux, but 360 still ahead for now.

About 712 million people live in Europe.

The Benelux accounts for about 27 million people.

Other European countries listed by VGChartz seperately:

United Kingdom: 61 million

France: 64 million

Germany: 82 million

Spain: 45 million

Italy: 59 million

Scandinavia: 19 million (if including Iceland and Finland about 25 million)

So "other Europe" on VGChartz probably represents about 376 million people of which the Benelux accounts for about 7% of the 'other Europe' population.

Some strong PS3 countries in 'other Europe' includes Ireland, Portugal, Poland, Austria and Switzerland.

I would wish the "other Europe" section would get a better description so to better understand what's covered and included within what figures.

Actually I believe Portugal numbers are included in Spain, according to ioi. I sent him a PM asking if it wouldn't be better to call it Iberia since that's the case, but I don't know if he saw it.

That makes me suspect that there are some other similar cases. Maybe Austrian numbers are included in Germany. It wouldn't surprise me if Australia includes New Zealand as well. Ireland could be together with UK.

I agree with you that these things should be more clear.
