 FYI, Europe or Europa or anything else comes from the greek princess abducted by Zeus and in Greek is called Evropi (Ευρώπη). Jupiter's moon got the name after the continent, of course.



An interesting note; (since i havnt seen any comments on it)

The wii is now the console market leader in europe aswell, seems it took over 360.. 2 out of 3 in major regions in less than a year..not bad at all.. when will the americas fall?



In Finnish the continent is Eurooppa, and the moon is Europa.

I would also be very interested in why the Wii numbers have jumped so much recently. Super Paper Mario and Metroid Prime 3 just got here, but the former was earlier than the jump, and the latter can't have affected sales yet. Maybe ioi realised he's been undertracking the Wii for a while, so he boosted the last few weeks in compensation? =/

In Poland you call both continent Europe and the moon Europe excally the same: "Europa". And it's not anything special. Acutally I think that English has many more multi-meaning worlds than Polish.
