2) Nintendo accounted for 1/10 of the USA-Japan trade defecit in 1989 (makes sense if thats when NES peaked and GB came out)

 

 Holy crap.  I never would have guessed it'd be anywhere near that.  Really, that seems too high to be real.

US to Japan trade defecit

2007 -82,759,900,000

1989  -49,058,800,000

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2008/080424e.pdf

Nintendo of America sales 2007 = 6.15~6.20 billion or about 7% (.07)

1991 = 4 billion article says that should be lower than 1989... so 10% is not really out of the question.

 

Remember total trade defecit is not the same thing as total trade

 

 



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
