Well for starters you're just concentrating on the wii, who's to say that some how the wii numbers are right but the 360 or ps3 numbers are wrong. Who's to say that the 1 million difference isn't a combination of wii's sold in south america, wii's in transit and wii's on store shelves?
Can you explain the ps3 numbers where aparantly the ps3 has sold next to nothing in south america.

Expensive + Lack of personal piracy + Lack of Comercial piracy = poor sales in developing nations
There are many people (who I agree with) who say that music labels, movie studios, and game developers should start selling their content in developing nations at slightly higher than the cost to print the discs in order to create a legitimate market (and therefore kill the pirates). Currently, no company has taken this approach so you have the option of buying a modded system (and burning your own games), or buying stamped games for (less than) $5 ... Being that neither option works because of Blu-Ray who is going to buy a system where the games are (at least) 12 times as expensive as the competition?

So you're saying it's only sold 32,000~ after 10 months in south america hahaha yeah sure what ever you say.

You asked for a reason why the PS3 would perform worse in these countries ...
The (moronic) thing you seem to be arguing is that VGChartz is wrong, and NPD is right; and you constantly fail to see that (as FishyJoe demonstrated) VGChartz numbers as of March 31st match up really well with Nintendo's shipment numbers, VGChartz numbers for April and May match up fairly well with NPD's numbers, and VGChartz numbers for June don't seem out of line with what we would expect. If VGChartz numbers were as inaccurate as you suggest you should be able to demonstrate where the inaccuracy is comming from ...

Yes i asked for a reason you gave an answer which you have no conclusive proof to back it up with and at the saem time i personally don't think the ps3 would have sold so poorly compared to the xbox360 and wii for just those reasons.
Also im not saying that npd is right and vgchartz is wrong because i don't think either are 100% correct. I was just pointing out the differences in data and seeing if anybody had any conclusive proof to show why one tracker has significantly higher data for certain consoles vs the other.
