Just dont forget you cannot see UK as a standalone country, it's part of a region. It's almost like saying that you are not impressed by Texas numbers... well ok, but it's not measures by Texas, it's measured by the entire US, the same thing happens in Europe. And there are countries with videogame sales stronger than the UK, like France for example or Germany. And I'm not even throwing possible numbers of Spain, Italy etc.

3DS and portable Nintendo are huge around Europe. Im confident in some impressive numbers, certainly higher than the US. We will see.

Wait! What??

I mean that Texas is just a state inside the US, same as the UK is a state inside Europe (in terms of videogame sales offcourse, not politically)

This is a very odd comparison. Without going into the odd Texas comparison, did you know that the UK probably has the biggest console market outside the US.

I'm kinda confused with the line 'you can't see UK as a standalone country'. What does that mean?

I mean Nintendo usually releases Europe's numbers as a whole. Not country by country.  

Plus, if UK has the biggest console market outside the US and they just sold 80k, that market is going down like Titanic =P

Ok. Well it's not biggest Nintendo market outside the US so a few countries will sell more than 80k. Japan seems to have smashed 80k so that's good.

France numbers are out. 105k units. Like I said, more than the UK.

Europe stands now at 185k units in JUST 2 countries.
