Wii- like 3.35 UK- 5.15 mil Total other - 17.2
PS3- 4.8 ratio UK- 1.9 mil Others - 9.2
360- 3.26 ratio UK- 3.25 Others- 10.6
Actually the 360 is the most UK centric followed by the Wii, but it should be noted that the Wii caught on in the UK and France much sooner. It was kinda weird watching the Wii Craze hit one euro country after another... France was first, then UK, then Germany, Australia, Scandinavia, Italy, Other Europe, then Finally spain in q3 or so of this year...
Basically we will see the Wii ratio Grow from here on out, I think it was 3 like was said earlier not too long ago.
Also as I said, you cannot extrapolate these numbers from the UK simply by multiplication. Maybe in the US you could do that with 1/3 of the raw data, but Europe (and other even further) has much more Diverse taste than In the US as a whole. |
Did you notice how I lowered all the ratios, not just the Wii ones?
Ps3 went from 4.8 > 4.5
X360 from 3.25>3
And Wii from 3.33>3
That's because there is bought more SW in the UK than in the rest of Europe (comparatively to number of consoles).
Sure it's flawed, but I still think it is less flawed than using the straight out numbers.

bull
you had the 360 at 3.5 and it was lower. The other 2 were higher.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
