I was thinking about this earlier, and given ~12m console gamers in Mexico, and ~82m in the US according to Newzoo, I think it's likely there are about 11 million current / last gen consoles sold in Mexico to date.

NPD had ~38.5m X360s, 41m Wiis, and 23.5m PS3s sold in the US off the top of my head, for 103m. I think Mexico is at least 11% of that. I should check the Nintendo Channel again, but last time I looked, Latin America was about 11% of everything in the US, and Mexico is 75% of that for consoles. Mexico is a better market for Microsoft (it's probably a top five market for them), and good for Sony too. I think it splits like this now:

                   US               Mexico       

Wii            41m               3.5m (8.5% of US)

X360         38.5m           5.0m?* (14%? of US)

PS3            23.5m           2.7m (11.5% of US?)

 

We have 23m X360s in Europe, NPD had 38m in the US - that's 61m. Australia & Canada & Japan might be another 7m - so I think it's reasonable that 5m are in Mexico - that leaves 3-4m for the rest of the world (South America, Asia, Africa, etc) as there will be 77m ish X360s shipped through March 2013.
