Why does the weekly hardware chart show higher numbers than the USA hardware by platform chart?

Because you are comparing USA and N.America.

*facepalm*

Right. Somehow that slipped my mind this time. Weird that Canada, Mexico, and Latin America combined represent such a small part of the market.

Off topic: Mexico is part of Latin America. 

thats debatable since its north america as well

Latin America is all countries from Mexico to Argentina (it doesn't count non Spanish speaking countries like Brasil, Guyana, etc). 

Mexico is indeed part of North America, but it forms part of the cultural sub-name (I'm pretty sure that's not what it's called) Latin America. 

Everything from Guatemala to Argentina (including Brasil, Guyana, etc) is called South America. With the sub-continent Central America (from Guatemala to Panama).

Keep in mind people usually study this things differently. In Latin America (not sure about Mexico) most countries study America as a single continent from Canada to Argentina. But I know in the U.S is different.

But anyway this is off topic :p
