      Is that from personal experience or have you read it somewhere?

          This shows USA sales are 34% of revenue, Europe is 29%, China is 17% and Russia is 5%, with 15% from other territories.

          The blog estimated 34.48% for USA, 34.48% for Europe, 17.24% for China and 13.79% for Russia.

          Thats a difference of 0.48% for USA, 5.48% for Europe, 0.24% for China, and 8.79% for Russia, although the blog doesn't account for the other regions.

          I can't find sales numbers but the revenue matches the blogs' fairly well so I'd be surprised to see a discrepancy there.

            "Assuming that 50% of copies sold are purchased in the US ($20 each) and Europe (17.2€, or $20 each), 25% are sold in Russia ($8 each), and 25% in China ($10 each), your average price ends up being $14.50 per unit."
            -Direct quote from article.

            The difference between 61% and 50 % percenct is pretty dramatic. Also 5% vs 25% is also extremely dramatic. Also if you take out PUBG the the percentage sold in the US and Europe would go up even more.
