"However, we have been doing business in South America from before, and it represents a little more than 5% of the entire business in the American continent, but the actual market potential has yet to be realized."
Nintendo has shipped 23m and 34m Wii and DS in the Americas through March, so it looks like both machines have bases of well over one million units in South America

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 9, 1995--Nintendo of America Inc. today announced 1994 sales numbers for Mexico and Latin America showing a 30% increase over the previous year. This marks the fifth consecutive year that Nintendo has increased sales volume in these countries. The announcement was made today at the 1995 Winter Consumer Electronics Show (WCES) in Las Vegas.
In the calendar year 1994, more than one million Nintendo hardware systems, comprised of Super NES, NES and Game Boy units, were sold in Mexico and Latin America. Total retail receipts for Nintendo software and hardware totalled $US250 million, making this the best year ever for the video game industry leader.
"These sales figures are a clear indication of Nintendo's dominance in Latin America," says Michael Schachter, Nintendo's regional manager for Latin America. "With exciting new game titles, solid marketing support and an aggressive distribution network, we've gained this momentum by giving consumers exactly what they want -- great game play experience at an affordable price."
At the forefront of this 1994 sales success is the Super NES game, Donkey Kong Country. The product was launched simultaneously in the U.S. and Latin America on Nov. 21. Within little more than five weeks, by Dec. 31, more than 100,000 cartridges of the revolutionary video game were sold in Mexico and Latin America, constituting approximately $US10 million in gross receipts.
"1994 was a tremendous year for Nintendo in Latin America and we look forward to an even stronger 1995 when we roll out the portable 32-bit Virtual Boy and the 64-bit Nintendo Ultra 64 home video game system," adds Schachter. "This is a very exciting time in Nintendo's history as we are riding the wave of incredible momentum."
Nintendo Co. Ltd. of Kyoto, Japan, is the leader in the worldwide $15 billion retail video game industry. As a wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere where more than 40 percent of American homes own a Nintendo system.
