The quotient for the european markets (of the Europe of 15 countries ,the new Europe of 25 countries I dont know but doubt will differ much most are really tiny or have underdeveloped game markets ) is more or less like this .
UK(actually England,Ireland ) :35%
France :15%
Germany:15%
Spain :8.5%
Italy; 8% .
Sweden ;1.5%
Norway :1.5%
Austria:3% .
Portugal:1.3%
Holland;1.6%
Belgium;1.5% .
Denmark: 0.5%
Switzerland(not UE but integrated in the european economy all the same ) ;1.5% .
Greece :1% .
Luxembourg ;nearly 1% .
THe remaining 4-5% for all the other countries .
I don't know where you got those percentages from, but 1% for Luxembourg is way to much, there aren't that many people living there. Anyway, the Benelux (Belgium, Luxembourg and The Netherlands combined) got around 50k units for launch, so that would make it 5% of the 1M available for the complete launch.
I made up those numbers ,they are only approximative .Over the years I have heard many things about the percentage in european business of the major countries ,specially my country of course .The smaller numbers I calculated by the inhabitants there and the adquisitive power plus some data about userbase of PS2 for example in those countries .In the example you provide me the Benelux would have 5% and in the numbers I calculated has some 4.1% ....if Sony has effectively provided more consoles than tought this would fit easily ...in any case those arent very far off .In any case those are approximative ,probably we could lessen the Luxembourg percentage something and add it to Denmark or Austria or Sweden or play 0.5 up and down with the numbers between some countries to make things more straight .
