- Sales: 330.000 units (ties with Nintendo DS start, which sold 330.000 units aprox. between March and December 2005)

- Income: 45 million euros (far better than Nintendo DS start; 33 mill. euros on the same time)

- Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land sold 127.000 copies combined until 31st December 2011

- Resident Evil: Revelations was the best selling game in Spain last week.

It seems that Spain is the 4th biggest market in Europe, and the 6th worldwide.

For a country that is nearly broken and has the highest unemployment rate of youth, those numbers are quite encouraging.

SPAIN. FUCK YEAH.

We are still buying things we really don't need and the country is near to collapse.

But on topic, very nice sales.

For a little off-topic, real unemployment rate is actually much lower due to submerged economy. If we actually had >20%, streets would be on fire

No figures for 2011 yet, but 2010 was close between Spain and Italy. The gap has been closing for some time.

We usually get a lot more from Nintendo Iberia than this.

I think our whole economy is based upon things people don't really "need"? :p

Yeah, but my point is that people is finding hard to reach month's end (i dunno if there's an expression suitable for this situation in English lol) and they still buy "useless" shit.

And I consider myself part of the problem, but luckily I can afford my hobbies for the moment.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I can figure they're almost similar in terms of sales and revenues, with Italy as a close fifth.

I tell you so because Italy is a huge market indeed, probably bigger than some may be crediting it; I believe Germany(supposedly European biggest market), UK and France are biigger, but Italy should be right after them.

Anyway since we're lacking any reliable sources one cannot say it one way or another I suppose.

Edit: I've just seen the slides, they make sense to me.

As Italian, I can totally understand that, eh eh.
Btw, we don't know whether people who have financial problems buy video games; probably not, and there's still a big part of the population who is healthy in this terms.
In Italy you can see people who really don't have money to buy iPhone, iPad, SUV, etc. but that's because of the way of thinking and the fact that you can purchase such products by paying just a fee per month.

I do think the graphs posted above tell us a totally different story.

Even with the high piracy rates, videogames are the only leisure thing us spaniards buy. Videogames are very profitable here, but you can't say the same about Blu-Rays, DVDs or music.

Spain has been the fourth biggest videogame market in Europe for quite a few years. This is not unexpected.

Quoted for truth. I don't know this will end, we had other major crisis but this seems very bad.

About the sales.. 3DS doomed? And not surprise about the Revelations sales, I'm considering myself buying a 3DS only for this game and Monster Hunter, and also for the large amount of games that my girlfriend loves in the system.

More in terms of home consoles, but if you consider the Wii boom.. in second place is the PS3, but the X360 also has done good numbers.

It is. PS3 sells far better than in US (and other UE countries, sort-of-Sonyland-too), ie, and PSP always did good numbers (in hardware, software is a whole different theme). However, the lack of PSP titles with DS dead and Nintendo releasing good games plus proper advertising did the "miracle".

And yes, economy is quite fucked up.

At first glance it surprised me the ratio of Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 sold for every 3DS system, I found it very impressive. Then I realized it isn't even bigger than in Japan.

Spain:

3DS --- 330,000
Super Mario 3D Land + Mario Kart 7 --- 127,000

0.38

Japan: (Media Create week 52)

3DS --- 4,282,143
Super Mario 3D Land + Mario Kart 7 --- 2,240,361

0.52

In portable terms, I believe is very equal.

In consoles, Sony blasts.

PS3: 201k (35.9%) / 1.450k (32.4%)
360: 96k (17.2%) / 770k (17.2%)


Portables - YTD / LTD: 360k / 7.460k
NDS: 258k (71.8%) / 5.060k (67.8%)
PSP: 102k (28.3%) / 2.400k (32.2%)


YTD / LTD: 920k / 11.950k

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
In Spain, Nintendo sold more Wiis than PS3s, so in home consoles Nintendo is also winning. However, the gap there is much tinnier than in other countries, and normally game sles are better for the PS3.
