There is no mistaking it anymore, Nintendo does better in the United States than in Japan. Nintendo sold more than twice as many Nintendo 64 game console in the United States than in Japan.

The launch of GameCube was a notable dud in Japan. But Nintendo of America sold out when it launched the game console.

And Game Boy Advance? Nintendo of America predicted that it would sell 10 million units by the end of 2002. It sold more than 11 million.
