Who published SC IV in NA?

I take it US = NA and Europe = PAL because US+Europe+Asia = Overseas Total.

Unit sales:

Japan: 45.5%
Europe: 30.1%
US: 21.4%
Asia: 3.0%

In group By total PS3 + XBOX360 = 1069 + 691 =  1,760,000

But in Top 10 games total  PS3 + XBOX360 = 728 + 189 = 917,000

 

So thats over 850,000 difference... wot am i missing.? In top ten games total also there are only 2 PS3 and 2 XBOX360 titles and also in group by total there are only 2 PS3 and 2 XBOX360 titles

For a start the top ten is missing EU & NA SC IV sales. Ubisoft published SC IV in Europe, so it probably isn't counted here, but I think Bandai Namco published in in NA, so I don't know why it's not included in the chart. They claimed 2 million shipped back in August. Maybe I'm mistaken and Namco didn't publish this is NA?

but if the SCIV numbers are like 2M+ then the numbers for "group total by platform" are too low...

Secondly let say they SCIV number for Europe at 180 and similarly SCIV for NA at 180 even then that doesn account for 800+ k.. there is still around 500k difference.

Not if SC IV European numbers aren't included in the total because it was published by Ubisoft.

In US it sold 375k first month according to NPD, so I really don't know why it isn't in their "top ten chart".
