So i could sell the consoles to people in the US but they would just have to buy US games? And therefore i predict the Wii Sports that comes with the English packages wont work?

No mate the US customer would have to buy PAL games from Europe. Games in the US are NTSC and will not work on a PAL European machine unless of course it has been modified but even then there are problems.

Are you looking to export to the US then as have seen in the past that the consoles are cheaper over there and buying in UK and selling in US at moment with current ROE surely wont generate much return.....unless of course things have changed with supply over there.
