Its at 43m in the USA - not North America. We have 49m in the Americas. DS is around 4m in Canada, and over 1m in Mexico among others.

Such a vast difference, NA = north america, America's = NA. USA = America and not NA, bound to be confusing to some people.

I'm pretty sure Americas is North America & South America.

and wtf @ Seece
of all people I expected you to know what country NPD covers

I thought it was states with canada merged in >< thus 43 mill, and the rest from SA.

Wow...

Those are huge differences on Wii. Could have been selling almost 20k less per week than we have it at?

While we wait, listen to that. Quite catchy, and the real reason for the success of Just Dance 2.
