Obviously ioi could decide to give it to you, but with only 2 posts and no information about you, unless you have a really really good reason why would he? As for the regions. America is all of the Americas (both north and south). Others is all other African/Asian markets not accounted for by the other regions. I may be off, but I believe that is correct. Also, the European sales may be more consistent because it appears that they are getting close to meeting demand across Europe. If demand is met every week, then you can expect typical sales, rather than erratic sales that depend on shipments. |
Well so I could study the data more thouroughly. The tools on this site are good for making quick comparisons, but insufficient for deeper analysis. Most databases give you the option of downloading the data (OECD database, EUROSTAT database, ECB database, World Bank database...).
Other being the African/Asian markets does make sense. I just find it odd that the sum of all regions matches up perfectly with the total sales. There's usually an unexplained difference between the two because of the complexities involved with gathering data and estimations. This leads me to believe that the Other category is indeed the rest of the world, but that sales for this are calculated as a residual, there is no actual sales data for this category.
