Hate to say this, but why would anyone care about Japan? What on earth do they buy there as far as videogames go anyway? Dating sims and Pokemon??? Gotcha! Oh, and RPG's like FF (not so much anymore like they used to) and DQ.

Japan loves the simplicity of Nintendo games...except Zelda. I'm shocked games like the Zelda's don't do huge numbers there like GTA does here.

Because they have the best taste, and the best games+music comes from Japan

It seems like you are making an argument without doing research or providing facts. Miyamotoo is the only one that used official numbers to support his claim. You and DonFerrari did not.

Um, that's not how facts work.  Is there an official statement from Nintendo saying the Wii sold the most units in the US during its time on sale?  Only NPD will have access to that information.  All we know is that Nintendo shipped that many units to the 'Americas'...which includes more than just the US.

Yeah, but again I am only one that gave official numbers for Wii for America's and those numbers clearly show that DonFerrari is wrong when comes to Wii numbers, while others arguing that X360 sold more without provided and fact like proof thats a case.

Is there an official statement saying 360 sold most? If not, then we may never know.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Personally I'm not happy it did but I'm not going to delude myself into believing it didn't win the USA market last gen.

I don't think there ever was. we know it was about 2 million behind Wii sometime in 2013 and was predicted to overtake that lead  by the end of the year but I don't' recall there actually being  an official announcement by microsoft that 360 overtook the Wii in USA  maybe the ps4 and xbone releasing that yr slowed it and they are practically tied? who knows not that important in the grand scheme of things Wii dominated USA market the start of the gen and the 360 dominated the second half of the gen. both did well

Delude? If its clear fact that X360 sold more than Wii, why no one (including you) still didnt provided any proof for that? You based your claims based on what exactly?

Your avatar is literally from a Japanese game that was made for Japanese gaming tastes...

You based your claim on a shipment for the americas LOL. Not for the US. I'll do your research for you when you make a bet.
