I somehow doubt it released there. Wasn't it basically NA only?

yes that's why i guess it could be mexico haha

Maybe Iceland has some strange educational system as well. I've seen it before that people did not count Mexico towards North America.

Is the American education system, they count every country under the US as South America and they are crazy wrong

"Persona 4: The Golden (PSV) added 10,139 pre-orders for a grand total of 114,201. Expect first week sales in the USA at retail to be in the 140,000 to 180,000 unit range"

Result: 95 000k ... lol ?



I've seen some non-north americans on here posting that they got their wii U. A few odd locations have it already, I think in South America.

No it doesn't. Some people just don't pay attention in geography class.

I know it was black friday, but how did xbox sell over 800,000 in America, ain't everyone got one yet?
Also, don't people think sales in the other areas (europe/ japan/ others) are very low for the time of the year.
Finally, where else did Wii U come out except the USA, 22000 units sold somewhere else


Canada?

It sold 448k in NA (which includes Canada), so the 22k come from somewhere else. Very likely an extrapolation error...

If that is true then my apologies. I don't believe it was released elsewhere, so it must be a mistake.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

You are infact wrong as Mexico is clearly North America, the only thing called South America is the big continent called South America, but you may be mistaking what is considered "South America" to you as what people simply call Latin America, which includes nearly every country actually south of United States (though not every one but almost).

Even if it did release in Mexico, that would not explain the missing 22k, since they come from somewhere outside of NA.

not sure if vgchartz does count mexico as north america (that's always something i did wonder about here) but if the guy from mexico said it releases today it was probably not mexico. and now i read some comments about a delay in mexico so maybe they did just guess the sales for mexico because they didn't know about the delay here on vgchartz? i read a comment of someone from guatemala who said it's already released there to the mexico guys so maybe it was the plan to release it in full north america included all the central american countries?

" Wii U continues to see delays in Mexico

The Wii U situation in Mexico continues to get worse and worse. More retailers are pushing the system back yet again. The latest release date posted is Nov. 29th, just one day before Europe is due for release. Let's hope that date ends up sticking. Thanks to all that sent this in!"

"What? I live in Guatemala (Central America) and there are lots of Wii U's in stores, but they are terribly overpriced (about $888 US dollars for the deluxe set)."

"Im located in Costa Rica. The price here for the deluxe set is $680. And thats from an store that sells official stuff from Nintendo. The price for the games is now arround $100, maybe more. I think I will have to buy online to at least get them at the real price.

Its really sad to see that we to pay almost double for everything videogame related. I have to import all the stuff in order to pay less and just pay the extra taxes for the stuff."

I've been saying that its pre-orders were overtracked for weeks and no-one believed me.

I know that, infact I say that was wrong but I have seen people calling Mexico part of Southamerica in here and the internet in general
