there has only been about 250-300k sold in australia.. so that brings you to 6.275ish.. and i'm assuming that adding "others" would bring you to the same figure that vgchartz has

A little more probably, remember the 6 million is shipped
Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
According to VGchartz the Wii has sold 321000 in Australia and with 132000 others that brings it remarkably close to the 6 million in Europe sold that Nintendo has announced.

The ridiculous amounts of time we have to wait for most games. Some good examples are how Super Paper Mario was release 5 months after the US, Metroid Prime 3 two months, Trauma Center 9 months, and there's still not even a date set for Brawl.
It's especially annoying for us Nordics, since we generally don't speak any of the languages that games get translated into. The French, Germans, Spaniards, and a few others get games in their language, but we just play the English version, and wait like everyone else. Not that I'd want to play a game in Finnish.
The delay is probably only partially due to translations being done, and mostly the paperwork associated with Europe being lots of small markets, rather than one big one, but Nintendo is still by far the slowest of the big three to bring their games over.

Because Japan is a single nation whereas european market is a collection of different national markets ?
The penetration of VG culture in Japan is very high.

you at least are lucky to get the original translation. we get translations of translations and total crap. playing in english is much better.
