Oh Italians and their lust for expensive items.


360 is doing poorer than I thought, PS3 has almost caught up in less than a year.

Thanks for the sales data, you can add Australia sales to the OP to make this thread a good PAL territories sales reference.

I think it is just the new rich syndrome.... you buy stuff based on brand because you just want to show it off... its common to 2nd world countries

Done. :)
 
Per head, the UK must be one of, if not, the largest, markets in the world. Even though France has a similar population and is the second largest market in Europe, its totally dwarfed by the Uk.
 
Not that I'm surprised, but Germany has pretty low numbers considering it has almost 2x times the population of Spain and a higher income (82 vs. 45 million).

It must be taken into account that people in Spain receive christmas gifts both on December, 25th and January, 6th, so the numbers should be higher there.

Just like americans rely on Xbox brand name more than other countries.

PS3 is doing great here. Good news.

Germany is a PC - Land, for example the software numbers for 2007:

PC: 11.700.000
PS2: 5.600.000
NDS: 5.100.000
PSP: 2.350.000
WII: 1.200.000
360: 1.000.000
PS3: 800.000

PSP beat Wii? So software on the system does sell.

No gaming culture + the most important newspaper using the word "PlayStation" as a synonym for videogame/console + A LOT of people blindly believing in Sony no matter what + competitors pretty incapable of building any kind of brand awareness = those results in here.

Why ? Just because PS3 is selling better than the other two ?

Look, PS3 is not like it is filled with steaming smelly shit inside... it is a great console worthy of purchase like the other two.

Ok, so when Wii is number 1 there is a great gaming culture and hurray in general, if Wii is not number one "insert problem list as above"?

Have i said that?
Thing is that A LOT of people buy the console just because of its name, because *by definition* PS3 is the most advance system on the market in their mind (of course mainly to play Pro Evo 2k8!).
I'm not implying that Wii/360 customers are gaming connaisseur at all, i'm all for good games and not into system wars (and PS3 wille be so mine the day LittleBig comes out!)... but that is pretty much reality over here, c'mon.

Of course.

PS3 selling great in Italia = no gaming culture
Xbox 360 selling great in the US = great gaming culture

I'm pretty sure saying the contrary would be bannable.

EDIT : Forget about it, you explained yourself just above my post.

Do you ever turn off?
 
That is an awesome console war over there in Europe. I have got to be a little troll though I had heard many times that there wasn't a sales war at all at that one console was being badly owned. What's up with that?

I'd guess that these software sales are the results of the weekly panel, so the 'real' software sales should be much higher than that actually (there is also the monthly panel, which has a higher coverage of the market and these numbers apparently haven't been released yet).

He might refer to the low overall sales numbers relative to the population. Italy's population is about as large as UK's and France's, yet the sales figures are significantly lower.

Exactly. France and UK are known as consoles stronghold and they show it this gen again. Italy has significant low sales overall, even lower than spain, yet the population is bigger. =/
