Nothing! I said nothing!
you have some weird goal posts... oh wait, they are not weird, just adjusted.
What do you mean? Someone said MS losing marketshare is a done deal. I disagreed, when did I adjust the goal posts?

I understand that the Nintendo market share is up for grabs for the other two consoles

I think a lot of that marketshare is not up for grabs. It's gone.
Hypothetical...If the gen lasted the same amount of time as this one, no they wouldn't.
Hypothetical...
PS4: 150m
XBO: 90m
WIIU: 40m
MS will be happy? I'm sure not like they are not happy right now... they always believed (and publishers too) that they will dominate this gen.
BTW MS is losing a lot of market share to Sony right now.

I'd think MS care more about Live Gold subscribers more than anything. If that number decreases from what it was at the height of the 360's numbers, it's just bad. Nobody cares as much about unit sales beating another company's unit sales as... enthusiasts.
German charts seem to be up on mediabiz.de. Sub is required, so the only info available is that Diablo III RoS kicked ISS out of the first place (which is now #2).

Also, just noticed that Amazon UK now has a PS4 & PSV bundle up for preorder for £499.
When did that happen?

So who has the second biggest gaming market in EU after UK, Germany or France?
Form following PAL Charts i noticed that Germany is PC & Playstation centric while France Playstation and Nintendo centric but who has the bigger overall market?
Germany loves XBO...

Did South Park just release in Germany I take it?
I think all 3 are claiming to be the biggest at the moment. No matter what, they are all comparable in size.
It's interesting as well because MS really seemed intent on gaining ground in Germany
Microsoft aims for 40% market share in Germany
You really have to wonder how they thought that was possible.

Probably comes from the same analyst who told then the global console market size for Gen 8 could go as high as 1 billion consoles.

The UK hasn't been #1 for some time now.
1. France
2. Germany
3. UK
In absolute value numbers. UK would be #2 if adjusted per capita.
Everything going according to the 50% marketshare plan.

Before the announcements of these console, there was a general feeling in the industry that MS would destroy Sony this gen. This included making serious gains in Sony dominated countries. I think nobody really expected it to turn out like this.
Oh really! I had completely the wrong idea maybe because UK are more open with their numbers of console sales and softwares
I don't even know where the'd gotten their confidence from, it's not like they were dominating the last generation, not even close.
400 mio to 1 billion was the statement
after nearly 300 mio for gen 7
u want the market to grow
not that far form being total unrealistic if u just take the last gen sales to make ur guess
but i doubt that, too

Actually the SELL (FR) and BIU (GER) give quite a lot of info yearly. And now and then there's the odd interview on some french or german websites where some numbers would be dropped.
Anyway, numbers for 2013 were:
FR >€2.7B
GE €2.66B
UK £2.19B (which is like 2.6B considering the average exchange rate in 2013).
But Germany has >80M inhabitants vs ~65 for the UK and FR.
Not sure if it's worth a new thread, but Nintendo France GM spoke to the press recently, and Gamekult sums his interview. Some interesting numbers for 2013:
- Pokemon XY 620k
- Animal Crossing 380k
- DKCR3D 150k
- Luigi's Mansion 2 344k
- Professor Layton 6 160k
- 9k/week since beginning of 2014 for the 3DS family
- +20% for the WiiU compared to 2013
MK8 is obviously their biggest game for the year, but he also speaks about Bayonetta 2 and SSB. No dates of course.
wow that is really a comparable market, looks like Sony is going to dominate this gen seeing they have the lock on two of those market and gaining more market-share in UK compared to last gen
Giving Sony, who's been dominating the market for the past decade, a run for their money, I suppose. But yeah, it's not like they beame the new Sony, far from it.
400M is fine. But I don't get the higher limit. It's insane. Just like the whole 40% in Germany. I mean even if they believe that, it's not exactly the kind of insane "prediction" you'd wanna make public.

Merci! Shame that Fire Emblem: Awakening, DK:TF or Bravely Default were not mentioned.
France and Germany are Nintendo's stronghold in Europe! Can't let that go!
Vita sold 121K in France in 2013? That doesn't sound too good...
oh hey, so 3DS was actually at 950k
so Vita was actually 121k for 2013, lol

Very interesting.
So in terms of the biggest European markets and where XBO is doing the worst, it goes like this:
1. Spain
2. Germany
3. France
4. UK
?

It makes more sense to post where XB1 is doing the best in Europe
So then it's like
And even then that's just assumptions on the most part
- UK
- France
- Germany
- Sweden?
- Finland?
- Spain
- Portugal
