8 million of PSP games and peripherals have been sold in France.
You guys seem to be ignoring the Peripheral part! By peripherals I think they mean accessories.

Ah, so they are official GfK numbers? Time for VGC to adjust the figures, then.

This puts in perspective how massively undertracked is the PSP software in Europe.

Everybody knows that the PSP software charts for Others is useless, so relax... but I would like to see some bigger games to have more up-to-date sales ( like the 2 GTA games, or Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters etc. ).

Ioi, for whatever reason, is not updating based off professional data from gfk, MC, NPD, etc...He must think alll other (professional) tracking firm numbers are wrong.

According to Sony's own financial reports, the PSP shipped 11.8 million units of software last quarter. Compared to the total userbase, this number is extremely low. I know this number is global, but it's the most accurate number that exists.
