No, you live in Ireland (according to your profile) which is NOT mainland Europe. As I wrote in my 236455 posts about MAINLAND EUROPE. The Metro group does not operate in the British Isles so no surprise here that you can't walk into a Mediamarkt in Ireland.

Ireland, part of Europe making its residents Europeans and this statement false

Where did I say Ireland does not belong to Europe? Where were you when Geography was taught in your school? The expressions "Mainland Europe" , "British Isles" (and many others) are well defined common terms in Geography (at least at a time when I went to school/University).

I live in Europe, have never encountered one of those shops

No, you live in Ireland

This is the point you said that living in ireland does not mean living in Europe. If you have such a short memory for what you're actually posting tho I find no reason to continue replying to you, waste of effort.

Why do you insist on misquoting me intentionally?

Sigh. For the 24567th time in the 2745th thread for the 736th hard-of-reading poster:

The Metro Group (Medimarkt, Saturn, etc) has over 1000 shops all over mainland Europe. They have been selling XBox Ones in most of those shops since January. The "13 countries" argument is completely bogus.

You do know alot of people dont know of these shops, right? Just because some people in europe know of them doesn't mean every european does. Sony already launched wordwide so alot of people already know this because its offical. Xbox one still has to release in europe this fall and china this summer. 

Before you comment on china. Keep in mind chinese hate japanese worst than they hate americans.....

A European who doesn't know Media Markt or Saturn has never and will never own a console. These stores are like Walmart or MacDonald's of electronics. Everyone knows them.

Also, stop deluding yourself that XO is only available in the 13 countries. It is available in every single country of the EU, that's what the Common Market is all about - there are no customs and if MS wanted to somehow limit the retailers and force them not to sell XO in other countries, then man, oh man, would they get a hefty fine from the European Commission :D I live in Poland in which XO is not officially "released", but it wouldn't take me more than 10 minutes to get to a store that has an XO. You can get it in pretty much every game store. In fact take a look at this service, it's like a Polish "eBay" (we dumped eBay and still stick to our Polish auction service ;) ).

So... Yeah. The console sure as hell isn't available outside the few countries MS listed :) MS fans, just quit using this false argument, cause you are just setting yourself for a disaster in September, when MS launches XO in those countries to no real effect, cause all the MS faithfuls will already have a console and other customers will just keep on buying PS4, which will completely own the market by then.

XO is selling that much worse than PS4 because people don't want it that much. Period.


It's incredible to be European and never hearing of Mediamarkt.

Jesus christ alter!

Also Xbone is available in pretty much all Euro countries surrounding France, Germany, Italy etc

So 7 millions sold as april 6 vs 5 millions shipped as april 17?!

Which means something like 7.3~7.4 millions PS4 sold vs 4.4 ~ 4.5 millions Xone sold as of april 17?

the gap is wider than people think! almost 3 millions probably!

Gap on the front page is 2.7million so the numbers on VGchartz seem to be very much in line with close to 3million of a gap sold to homes. Brett is doing his homework :)

Debating over your silly argument is a waste of time and effort - agreed.

Yeah it seems that VGchartz is pretty good tracking PS4 but they have problems tracking Xone!

 

BTW it's just me or WiiU stucked on 6 millions?

That isn't a site issue sadly... I was really thinking with MK8 and Smash bros this could be the wii-u's summer but now smash isn't coming out until the holiday season on the Wii-U and people will have had it for 6 months already on the 3DS dunno what they're thinking.

yeah i think 3DS will cannibalize WiiU hardware boost with Smash brothers. And i don't think mario kart 8 will make miracle boost that will change the market behavior.My prediction WiiU will hit 9~10 millions end of year thanks to hollyday season and obvious MK8/SSB bundles.
