On the frontpage it says that Playstation 3 only has sold 25,52 million units but thats wrong! on your website it says that there has been sold 9,86 million in NA, 3,74 in JP and 11,93 in others.. take these numbers together and I'm sure it won't add up.. 9,86+3,74+11,93 = 25,53 !! see please change it..

I am very sorry for my bad english :(

It's not really a mistake, it's just differences caused by rounding. If you carried out the decimals by one more place they might look like this:

NA = 9.856
JP = 3.739
Others = 11.927

Added together, you would get 25.522.

So when you round them to the second decimal, you get

NA = 9.86
JP = 3.74
Others = 11.93

Total = 25.52

See?

uh maybe rounding issues. its only 1 decimal place off.

I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!
