A better question would be, in which countries outside NA, EU and Japan does VGC have meaningful tracking infrastructure?

Actually, yes. Of course it's not "all other countries" because consoles don't get sold in every country out there. Still it looks like Sony sells their consoles to more countries than MS or Nintendo, although it *could* be that they are also more popular in the dark matter.

By the way, are consoles now available in China (beside the clones ;)).

Playstation is by far the most popular console in the Middle East. Last gen Xbox 360 was a close rival to PS3 due to piracy and lower price. Xbox 360 has been modded there almost since launch driving hardware sales up (and software sales down) but speaking about brands, Playstation is much more popular that some people out there refer to ANY console as "Playstation"

Nintendo wasn't very popular in the Middle East especially after the MegaDrive which was considered the real deal until Playstation showed up.

I think the Playstation brand is well ahead of the compeition in the "Eastern" part of the world. That includes Africa, Asia, the Middle East and possibly Eastern Europe as well.

Could be! But still it'd be nice to have a list of who sells where stuff ;)

Sony has a monopoly in many countries of the middle east
out of every 10 consoles sold(according to where i Live (Jordan)) 7 are PS3's, 2 are 360's and 1 is a Wii and this is all the way since 2007 up until now

bet with ash3336 he wins if Super Mario 3D World sells less than Mario Sunshine during the first three years, I win if 3D World outsells Sunshine's first 3 years. Loser get sig controlled for 3 months (punishment might change)

Do you doubt the WiiU? Do you believe that it won't match the GC?

Then come and accept this bet

Russia is included to Europe region by both Sony and Nintendo.

So Russia for MS doesn't belong to Europe, so it's in their "other"? Or is MS not selling their consoles in Russia?

MS officially sells X360 in Russia. X1 will be sold spring 2014. I just don't know if they track it as Europe or as Others tbh.

You should try not to even pay attention to the "Other" numbers considering they are probably ever more off than the "Big Three" continent/country numbers.

Is there something missing? Of course the country-select isn't really a good indicator for countries where Sony sells their system but generally Sony's list is way bigger than MS'...
