This statement hits the nail in the head... I honestly don't know what are people supposed to discuss here if the data is not meant to be analysed beyond itself... Anyone who has been following hardware sales for a while now on this site should already be aware of how the US and the UK are Xbox's strongest markets, and the difference and the timing of it regarding 360 and Wii is more anecdotal than anything. The discussion of WiiU/Xbox One would be more interesting, if it weren't for the fact that WiiU is currently selling poorly in general...
So, if the point of the thread is to congratulate Microsoft for their achievement, then it's perfectly understandable (aside the fact of Sony being ignored here...), but as a sales discussion, I don't see much point in it...

What exactly constitutes "major" here ? If we go by million sellers, there's 38 million sellers by my count from 2010 onwards, with only 10 (or 11, if you count Mario and Sonic) games being by Nintendo themselves. I don't think there's any objective and reasonable criteria you could apply here for "major" that gets you those results...
