@DMJ Sony



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Tell me every 360 owner didn't cream when they found out about FFXIII.  Hell, they crashed the internet.

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.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601080&sid=aK64sYWSB1Rw&refer=asia

 

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 saying it's not. I also believe you do not know what VGC tracks. I myself don't really know, but everyone says NA, and I assume the majority is correct here.

The numbers you provided for average income mean next to nothing. Mexico is 7500 dollars. But there is a huge class difference there. The top 15% stand for 60% of the total income. This means that those 16.5M in Mexico (not including the 70M not in Canada, USA and Mexico) have an average income of 30.000 USD a year. Considering the far lower prices there, this equals to about the same as a US citizen. I believe this is higher than Canada, but I'm not certain. The Brazil average means nothing, as it is in Others, not NA.

So solely by population, those 15% should equal out more than half of Canada, making 500K a safe bet. And this isn't even including the 70M out of the big 3 in NA.

 EDIT: Sorry, that's supposed to be 30-40M out of the big 3. Sorry!

 

 

 Wow, I agreed with Griffin, but you're actually correct. Well done proving it.
