It's the markets that GfK track.

Still, it's not all of Europe. That would be like not tracking some USA states in North America. So it's NA + a big part of EU.

GfK doesn't track Norway? Since when? I've seen reports about the Norwegian (and the Finnish, for that matter) games market, based on GfK numbers.

So PS4 and Xbox one doing better than PS3 and Xbox 360 but with out Wii U numbers I think it's falling behind if we had to add Wii numbers...

Poor Wii U ,didn't even get included.

Austria (German) Austria (English) Belgium Czech Republic (English) Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Ireland Italy Netherlands Norway Poland (Polish) Poland (English) Romania Russia Russia (English) Slovakia Spain (English) Sweden Switzerland Turkey Ukraine United Kingdom  

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe ZhugeEX is making a mistake..

It's important to find out about that, since I have already compared these numbers to what vgc shows...

However, I can't post my findings, because here zhuge says that  Europe's numbers represent only the following countries (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom) while vgc extrapolates numbers for whole Europe! I don't want to create fake impressions.

I just grabbed the 12 countries list from here-

https://www.chart-track.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/euro/services/index.jsp

 

The report says Europe but doesn't specify which countries, just specifies that the data is from GfK Chart-Track. So google helped me find that list of countries.

It would be kinda weird of GfK to not include all countries they track though, no? How old is that list you used? It doesn't mention any 8th gen consoles, so maybe that list is outdated. tak showed all countries tracked by GfK in his post above, so it would be natural to assume it includes all those countries.

Could be. As far as I'm aware GfK produce software charts for Finland, Norway & Greece as well the countries listed in the OP. Not sure about Turkey, Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic and Russia etc... (as mentioned in the other list).
