Yeah, I kind of figured Nintendo would sell well in the same country it came from.

Yeah, same, only Sony is kinda' from the same country too.

It did surprise me a while back but recently i've just got used to it. I still can't really understand it, I don't see how the DS and Wii can be so popular but that's not important. From my perspective, hopefully Sony can make up sales elsewhere.

SM64DS, MKDS, AC:WW, PokeMon, and Phantom Hourglass. The rest are for people who throw games away after half an hour of gameplay. Nintendo DS is the absolute best, second to Wii.

Wii doesn't have a lot of games, so I can see why it has seven.

Why PSP has less than PS2 I will not know.

PS3 and XBox 360 = totally understandable.
