Wii has sold 6 million in Europe alone! I wonder how many it has sold in Australia and others?

I read that story too. It's doing massive numbers in Europe.

If only Nintendo of Europe respected their customers

@ melbye

Why praytell do you say that?

Well to be fair... I think all customer service blows in Europe. I've heard extremely negative things about Sony and Nintendo. No word on Microsoft. So they might be better?

Haha so many bitter comments on the message boards.

Oddly they are talking about sold to consumers. Which even if you are selling out, No doubt a number of these sold consoles are "in transit".

Oh the NOE thing seems to be more about game releases.

 ioi's numbers are well over 6m. I would say he's spot on.

i don't know why people say that Japan is bigger than Europe (as a console market),

One poster was telling me that VGC numbers were wrong for Europe and others, I think this proves that VGC is doing a great job

I haven't seen anyone say that.  Europe is clearly at least twice (probably closer to 2.5) times as big as Japan.   There are some special things about Japan that make it more valuable than simply 15% of the market, but still Europe is more important.
