I've got pictures so you all don't think I am BSing about the crazy Wii sales- I will enter them into the original message in a little while.

OMFG !!!!!!!! NEWS : THE PSP IS BEATING THE DS IN ROMANIA !!!!!!!!

But than who cares ... LTD neither will sell more than 50-100k here , thats a week in Japan , and not even a stellar week for neither . Just going to one place and take a couple of shots means nothing ... Often just going to one country doesnt means nothing either . If we look just at Italy , than the Wii is doomed ... if we look at Japan , than the 360 is dead , and if we look at New-Zeland , than the PS family is still king by far ...

True... but honestly... looking at one American cities stores is actually more relveant to world wide sales then looking at an entire europeon countries stores like Romania. Because American cities often are used as representative samples for all of America. For example, test markets or college level research studies. While you couldn't use Italy to estimate the sales of europe. For a comparison. The Source gets his peliminary sales numbers by extrapolating from 1 store. He gets amazingly close for all of japan, with just 1 store. Of course without a formula like that this is just mildly interesting and somewhat useful. But in a lot of ways... still more usefull then looking at a market in a country that has little relevance.
