Awww, so close to a billion

Still, some very good sales though, good to see it is up from last year as well.

Actually, unlike the UK and other countries, in Spain a billion is a million times a million. So no, it wasn't even close.

 

Also, while this news doesn't mention it, Nintendo has revealed that it was the top publisher in Spain with 1.4 million physical games in 2014.

English billion: 1.000.000.000; nine zeroes.

Spanish billion: 1.000.000.000.000; twelve zeroes.

An equivalent for the english billion is the spanish "millardo", but nobody uses that word anymore.

1 english billion= 1 spanish millardo

You wouldn't believe how many mistakes and errors are made every year when translating these two.
