Hard to tell how the market breaks in Latin America. Mexico is the biggest market so far but Nintendo predicts Brazil will surpass it in a few years, as the population is twice as a big. I don't think all other Latin American countries combined would top any of those two countries.

 And given the fact that nintendo channel was not even available for most of our countries (The eshop is not available in Costa Rica yet) it will be very very difficult to even make have a rough picture of any other markets.

Do you set your Wii to Mexico then? (And I presume 3DS lets you change country too) Or does one of your nearer neighbors have it available.

 Yes, I did have it set up for mexico and it was fine at the beginning, after some transactions though (lost wind I guess) my card was rejected twice, $20 each, I called my bank and they asked me to talk to nintendo because the transaction was put on hold... I sent an email to nintendo and they just said contact your bank... 15 days later I got my money back, not a big deal but I dunno about making it again.

 The thing here is that nintendo doesnt allow me to pay with any card (debit, credit or even prepaids) if I leave the wii set up to Costa Rica (where I live and from where all my cards were issued), they only allow their point cards, which by the way are very rare to find and if you find any the prices are laughable... The 3ds is even worse as the eshop is not even available at all, I have all the free goodies (I am ambassador after all :9) cause I change my settings from time to time to check videos, trailers and stuff, but I havent bothered to try buying anything yet, and I am probably not going to do it until the eshop is available here.
