Those UK numbers are for the end of 2008 and have been released months ago. Considering this it doesn't make sense the other figures would be from January 31 either.

Well for the Xbox 360 at least, we will get the full shipment numbers in a few days, so we can work backwards from there since the NA numbers are generally very accurate.

Tease.

The numbers are out tomorrow actually, after the market closure.

The UK figures align the best (not surprising considering there have been adjustments based on Chart Track data), they include Ireland though. The VGChartz data may not.

Regarding to the others figures, Finland does not seem to be included in this data for Scandinavia, New Zealand does not seem to be included in the Australia figures. But they are minor factors though if VGChartz combines those, just like the Czech Republic which was included in this data.
