Some of our data for software is USA+Canada, some of it is USA only, some of it is Canada only so for the Americas, since sw is primarily USA & Canada, since Mexico/South America/Latin America see tons of pirated game which is why we use Americas * .9 to estimate the USA. Even though we have hardware estimates for USA/Canada/Other N.A./S.A. territories, the vast majority is USA. Its something like (and this is very rough) a 90%-7.5%-2.5% split between US/Canada/Mexico everything else.
But this all on average - the percentages of 'Americas' sold outside the USA float a bit from month to month.
