WTF!

"America" means America, not U.S.A.

U.S.A is a country.
America is 2 continents.

ioi is correct when he puts "America" because he means America (compromising all of North and South America).

Well, that does make more sense when you think of it like that.

I guess that the US flag next to the hardware sales threw me off. It'll be more useful if 'America' had like a collective flag, just like how the European Union has one.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is the best Zelda title ever made.

IF it is short for North America or the Americas, why the US Flag?

Well the Canadian flag would be awkward considering the majority of the sales are from the USA. It must be very hard for the Canadians though but I think they are used to it;.
