I think this is Europe, but not sure what countries are included, other graphs only mention UK, France, and Germany

Had time to watch it now, "Captain Smoker" has done some pixel counting on the European graph, combined with some previous pixel counting on last years graph I've made some year on year comparisons:

Wii European hardware sales:

	2008	2009	Change
January	291,000	647,000	222%
February	388,000	392,000	101%
March	504,000	367,000	73%
April	512,000	303,000	59%
YTD	1,695,000	1,709,000	101%

360 European hardware sales:

	2008	2009	Change
January	140,000	334,000	239%
February	84,000	170,000	202%
March	170,000	229,000	135%
April	140,000	155,000	111%
YTD	534,000	888,000	166%

PS3 European hardware sales:

	2008	2009	Change
January	268,000	313,000	117%
February	178,000	154,000	87%
March	279,000	194,000	70%
April	228,000	122,000	54%
YTD	953,000	783,000	82%

Total current gen home console hardware sales:

	2008	2009	Change
January	699,000	1,294,000	185%
February	650,000	716,000	110%
March	953,000	790,000	83%
April	880,000	580,000	66%
YTD	3,182,000	3,380,000	106%

Based on Chart-Track months (March = 5 weeks)

Not sure exactly which countries this includes, but going by previous briefing's it's most probably only ccountries where Nintendo directly operate, and not dirtributor markets.

Pure speculation .... if you listen to the briefing they make no mention of which countries are included. He's just listed the countries where Nintendo directly operate, but I'm actually not even sure if GfK supply weekly hardware numbers for Germany and Italy, so it's quite possible that it doesn't even include all of those countries.
