In "other" PS3 outsells 360 by over 10k again.

Still waiting to hear how those numbers are tracked.

That means since the start of the year "other" has sold 241k PS3's. Compared to just 120k 360's. A difference of 121k. Meaning in this "other" place it has outsold 360 two to one.

To put that into a bit of context for you

In UK, the 2nd biggest games market on the planet, since the start of the year they have sold 182k PS3's. That means "other" outsold it by 60k or nearly 30%.

In Germany, one of the big Sony supporter countries and one of the biggest gaming markets they sold 111k PS3's. France who are massively supportive of PS3 sold 152k PS3's. Meaning "other" outsold France and Germany combined. I can go on and on.

Point who are these "others", right now their figures sit above all european countries and only 70k behind Japan. Making them in terms of PS3 sales the 3rd biggest PS3 seller region on the planet.

Think it is time these numbers were explained.


Well you all of Africa, Asia (-Japan) New Zealand, Fiji etc.

Which again makes me suspicious of the numbers because having been to places like china, south africa, morocco, egypt etc.. i found just ordering a taxi somewhat of a mission, i can imagine getting data from those places would be near impossible, especially the rest of asia what with their strict game sales laws i.e china.

I am not saying these numbers are false, just curious to know how Vgchartz can track numbers in places like that, which makes me think a lot of these "other" numbers are based on guessing.
