I'd think that US sales are pretty important... and at the rate that the differential is growing, pretty soon the X-Box probably WILL pass the Cube unless something changes...
What should Nintendo do? BETTER MARKETING! Their TV ads are either bad or not frequent enough... they also do need to actively try to fight the common public perception that Nintendo Is Kiddy. Its very common... no factual basis for it, but common anyway. Nintendo should do more to show that they actually are making more adult or massmarket games, which they are doing... or they'll continue to falter more and more...
Changing their stance against online gaming would help too but that won't happen anytime soon.
