So continuing the discussion about where VGC is off in sales data where I was asked about the breakdown per country/region in Europe and how I showed data that proves that Europe is not accurate and mostly like undertracked... a personal discussion between ioi and me.
More data come to public this week.
Fist the summary about the what we have:

What VGC seems to have but didn't fit with what is showed on the site (weird):

And finally the new data:
Gamesmarkt interview with Dr. Bernd Fakesch (Nintendo CEO Germany):
Wii U - 350,000
3DS - Over 2,000,000
Wii U software sales up 141%YoY
Mario Kart 8 - Over 150,000
Tomodachi Life - 100,000
Pokémon X / Y - Significantly exceeded 500,000 units
I don't have the timeframe of data shared in the interview but even if you use the lastest VGC numbers you can see Wii U is undertracked by 70k in Germany and 3DS over 100k.
Wii U is close to twice the sales of Xbone (June figure).
I will post any new data to help to break the sales per region in Europe and make VGC accurate.
PS. DAT Mario Kart attach rate in Germany.
