Is Nintendo's definition of Europe the same as VGC?

They have official data from UK, France, Germany and Spain... The rest is Nintendo estimating.

Do you think we'll eventually get official numbers for the rest of EU?  Or will it forever remain a mystery?

I don't think there's any official tracker of the regions outside of UK, FRA, GER and SPA... We just get whatever data we can from the companies.

For example, Sony saying 14 Million PS2 units have been sold in Albania.

Oh, I just thought GfK tracked more than those regions.  Maybe not.



For the record, none of those are official numbers. NPD, GFK, etc numbers are all estimates, sure they officially released those numbers and are their "official" estimates, but none are really accurate. The only official numbers that can be backed by documentations are official shipment numbers.



YoY 2011 European Hardware Sales

PS3 ~ 4.9 M (+ 6%)
Wii ~ 4.0 M (- 23%)
360 ~ 3.7 M (flat)



Was Pokemon Black and White undertracked heavily? Nintendo Says it sold 14.42 million while Vgchartz has it at 12.9 million
