According to Bloomberg, over 10.9 million Wiis LTD in US. If you add in Canada and the rest of the Americas, VGC almost sounds like it's tracking on the low side comparatively. I've underlined comparatively because I'm not saying VGC is under tracking, only that it may be tracking differently on the low side when you compare.

How do you get that, according to this site we have the wii at 12.55mil for the last week in june, with the US at 10.9 that puts 1.6 for Canada, and thats well above 10%.  If anything it appears we are over tracking.

ummm, your forgeting about all those little countries below the US.

10.9 + 1.1 = 12m

Then about 500k for the rest of NA. Sure, that's reasonable.

 

You are out of your mind if you think there are 500k sales of the wii for central and south America, and does Nintendo even ship wii's to South America, i think the suppliers buy them from the US and ship them down south.

 

You are aware that south America isn't a part of North America, right?

As for the numbers, look at this.

NA population: 523M

US population: 304M

Canada population: 33M

Rest population: 186M

Are you telling me that the rest 186M people, couldn't have bought 500.000 Wiis, when a less than 1/5 population bought more than twice as much?

 

You do know how little people make on average in South America, Brazil, 2006 average is $4600, the US is $42,000+.  Mexico is about $7500, the rest of SA is even lower.

 

I think you're joking, but I'm not sure. North America is what VGC has America as. I used North America. Brasil alone has a population of 188M (I think), so how the heck could I have included SA? If I'm wrong, and VGC tracks all of America, what I wrote is still valid, as I used NA only. Once again, South America is a continent, and not a part of North America.

 

South America(SA)/Central Amerca is poor, they have not bought 500k wii's.  The numbers i provided are correct for the average income.  I know what VGC tracks.  I'm saying we have over tracked if we go by NPD numbers.  And i'm not responding to anymore quotes on this.

@Bodhesatva: I think that UK and US have much more in common than Japan with either of them. It's just different culture and their buying habits are different. And Japan also got bunch of bundles so this would actually prove my point that bundes matter games doesn't.

GTAIV also supports this. UK sales for GTAIV launch week grew 127% (ChartTrack) while US sales grew around 50% acording to NPD. UK got GTAIV bundle but USA didn't.
