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

Spanish billion: 1.000.000.000.000

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

Oh, I'm sure there are plenty mistakes, and it's sad but not unexpected.

Everybody assumes that things work the same way everywhere, and are genuinely surprised when they find out that they don't.
