Ahh ok.
Well, now that we have cleared that up, Ill comment about the residual thingy. I believe there is a "residual" factor in the Others/others category. There's been debate on these forums about where exactly those sales (which countries) in Others/others come from, and they sometimes seem to be too high. Anyway, I dont see anything strange about this, because if you track sales that often are adjusted afterwards (reports of shipment numbers from console makers) it's easy to use this "dump" category for sales numbers that dont add up.
(This is my theory, I dont think its been confirmed)
