Awww, so close to a billion

Still, some very good sales though, good to see it is up from last year as well.

Actually, unlike the UK and other countries, in Spain a billion is a million times a million. So no, it wasn't even close.

 

Also, while this news doesn't mention it, Nintendo has revealed that it was the top publisher in Spain with 1.4 million physical games in 2014.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

English billion: 1.000.000.000; nine zeroes.

Spanish billion: 1.000.000.000.000; twelve zeroes.

An equivalent for the english billion is the spanish "millardo", but nobody uses that word anymore.

1 english billion= 1 spanish millardo

You wouldn't believe how many mistakes and errors are made every year when translating these two.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Oh, I'm sure there are plenty mistakes, and it's sad but not unexpected.

Everybody assumes that things work the same way everywhere, and are genuinely surprised when they find out that they don't.

So? I'm not from Spain and neither are any of the companies selling consoles there, so it's nearly a billion for the relevant companies and for me.

Excuse me for trying to explain you how things work over here .

Good job Spain! Would have been cool if you made it to 1 millardo this year ^^ would be awesome if someone could take similar numbers from other (EU) countries and compare them



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Dat playstation 3. Sold twice as much as the second console, which is the 3DS, and then we have PS4 on the third spot (+451.2%!). Gold and Bronze for Sony there, though I can't say I expected less.
