Great numbers for Sony, does VGChartz data matches this? Any idea of how many God of War 3 were sold in Latin America?

With the violence in Brazil, its no surprise, you would be begging to be robbed if you walked with that on your hands.

Most of Wii, DS, 360 and PSP here came from external market (illegal or imported).

And the most imporant thing: We are finally getting PSN Brasil!! YAY! :D

Anyway, impressive numbers for PS2 and PS3. Other then Sony numbers, all are speculation at this point.

I have no idea.

God of War 3 had a big opening/launch fest at midnight in São Paulo.

I would think we're pretty close to this. We had all of Latin America at 600k at the start of the year but then we had those big adjustments. And I think GOW3 had sold about 50k-60k in Brazil back in July I think so probably around 130k-140k in LA by now.
