Forums - Sales Discussion - Quick question about america sales

What does it include? Like is it Just the US, Canada+US, Canada+US+Mexico, or just north central and south america together? and if its just USA does that mean all of the other countries in the american continents get included into "world"?

 

Thanks.

I'm fairly sure 'America' includes Canada+US+Mexico.



I always thought America sales were counted as north, central and south combined.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I knew this info was listed somewhere on the site:

"American Weekly Data” is VG Chartz estimations for sales of the United States and Canada, plus slightly more for developing markets in Central & South America. Canadian data tends to account for 5-10% of USA hardware and software sales in any given week."

The website doesn't really know any languages, it's just a website =P

But we do have spanish speaking staff/contributors that live in spanish speaking countries in the Americas.

Oh noes...what does it mean for our Japanese numbers?

 

 

Sorry, but it just seemed odd you needed to make that statement.

 



The rEVOLution is not being televised

It's for all of the Americas but in comparison to North America, the other factored markets probably don't even effect the actual totals that much.

You caught me, i was simply suggesting (clearly quite obviously) that i would like to know, not neccesarily how many languages you all speak, but rather how many individual samples are covered in each territory to get the numbers.

It does seem as though there are issues with sample and, not only myself but other people, would like to know more "background" if its doable.
