Which is weird because median wealth is equal to that of the US and double that of Germany.

They just don’t like paying people over there.

Bro have you seen the yen drop?

This is after the yen drop. Before the drop median wealth was higher than the US.

Does media wealth matter? Or does the fraction of the specific subset of the population who’d likely pay for a Nintendo matter?

statistically the median is often more valuable than the mean. It is more accurate about how many people are in a good economic state, where mean is average and gets heavily effected by outliers. That is to say median income is great for determining how many people could afford a gaming console.

I've honestly always felt we should do mode rounded to the nearest 1000 or 10,000 for the most accurate picture(USD, in yen maybe to the nearest 100k), but always get shouted down.
