Well, by reading your post, the only reason I could think of is that Nintendo has been sending Wii's and Mario Karts to the UK instead of US lol.

Exactly, and my post is asking why. It seems crazy to ship Mario Kart to the UK in order to give it away free when it could be sold at full price in the US.

Aren't games and consoles more expensive on Europe? And if I remember correctly Mario Kart is very popular there.
