Is it mke or it just doesn't make sense at all?

Sony announced last year at GamesCom or TGS (I don't remember) that they've sold 10 million PS3's in Europe

They've just recently announced that the PS3 crossed the 3 million bar in the UK... That makes it 13 million in Europe & UK

You want to tell me the PS3 only sold 890K in Australia, New Zealand, Middle East and all the "Other" places?

PS3 is undertracked right now dude. I think we are in the middle of two adjustments in order to improve data.
Even The Source predicts 34m shipped until last December, and surely there aren't 3m PS3s lying on shelves!

I was pretty sure they do because there are specific game charts for the UK and... well, they seem to treat the UK differently.. I never heard them officialy announce that the PS3 crossed the 1 million bar in France or any other European country
