For fun I was checking Vita numbers, as you probably know our beloved site has it at 9'009.244 as of October 25th.

More precisely.

Doesn't sound too bad now does it? However when looking at the number of this year alone, its something like this

I don't know about you guys but I really have a hard time believing the Vita is performing so "well" outside of the 3 main markets, for instance, we also have WiiU at around 223.363 for the whole year outside of the main three as well.

What do you guys think?

I think its fairly accurate,

While I suspect it is overtracked, I believe it's not for the reasons you're listing in the OP.

Asia is becoming an increasingly important market these days. Look at all the traditional Chinese localizations you see announced from Japan from games that'll never come to the west - Shining Resonance & Yakuza 0 from SEGA, for example. Sony especially have had a big push in Asia re-branding as Sony Computer Entertainment Japan-Asia over there and pushing stuff like Freedom Wars and Oreshika hard at Taipei Game Show last year.

If you look at sales figures for something like Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment -

400k worldwide, of which we know 238k are sold through in Japan:

(with probably a fair bit more shipped there too).

But that still leaves something like 120-130k missing.

Digital only in the west means they're unlikely to be here, too Even if the game did well we're looking at a few tens of thousands of sales. So the rest, logically, would be the only remaining place it has released - Asia.

I'm not saying the console won't be overtracked in "other", but I think the reason it's tracking as it is there is because of the support in Asia outside of Japan.

If it is, I'd be very sad. Sony has no idea how to support a failure. We saw that with Betamax, we're seeing it with thr Vita.

It's cheap and old. Of course it will sell well in ROW.

PS2 have sold 25,000,000 in rest of world... Is accurate imho.

It's been shipping more than Wii U for at least two quarters. So if anything, it's undertracked.

Vita is a succes compared to some other consoles. So you can relax.

I disagree because its pretty much doesnt exist in every store I have been to in the US

Anecdotal + US =/= the world.
