I wouldn't expect many sales from Mexico, official consoles are very expensive due to import duties. For example, 40Gb PS3 is $700 from Sony Style Mexico compared to $400 across the border. Wii costs $440 compared to $250 in US. Most people will either buy from US directly, or buy ilegally imported consoles with no import duty. The vast majority of Mexican console sales should already be tracked in US.

 

 Still, with 16M making as much as US average, 300-400K Wii sales wouldn't be impossible, would it?

 

Sure, but  my point was the majority of those 300k-400k sales will be US imports and thus already tracked in US.

I'm not really following your argument closely, but are you aware that "America" on VGC also includes South America?

I didn't really know whether it was in or not. Most people say NA, so I assumed it wasn't. I believe this only strengthens my argument though.
