| shams said: Very simple. The weekly sales worldwide are almost identical each week. Its a simple redistribution between all the major regions. The US got more around Thanksgiving, and now its Japan's turn (WiiFit) - with Europe getting more as well. With demand in the US so high, its pointless for Ninty to starve the other regions. They would hate to have a situation where they own NA - but unable to supply enough units - and have lost all the other regions, by not supplying enough! |
Also Nintendo got creamed in the Japan and Others last two rounds (NA accounted for almost 2/3 of N64/GCN sales), so I think Nintendo is being preferential to the other two regions in an attempt to win them this time knowing that NA will always be good for them regardless.
