I thought it was quite interesting to note that on the international site (Amazon) the Nintendo brand was particularly strong. In comparison the two South African sites (Take 2 and Kalahari) had quite a large emphasis on PC and Xbox brands... wonder what to make of that and the buying habits of SA consumers vs. foreign consumers...??
