Interesting as VGC has UK nearly double what Germany sells. Just this week alone total sales were 80k in UK and just 40k in Germany. France was even ahead of Germany.
These are the numbers for this year
Wii = 830k in UK - 380k for Germany = UK sold 450k more....
360 = 583k in UK - 177k for Germany = UK sold 406k more....
PS3 = 340k in UK - 168k for Germany = UK sold 172k more....
DS = 1.1m in UK - 646k for Germany = UK Sold 454k more....
PSP = 241k in UK - 191k for Germany = UK sold 50k more....
PS2 = 181k in UK - 147k for Germany = UK sold 34k more....
For 2009 thus far Germany has sold 1.7m hardware units.
For 2009 thus far UK has sold 3.2m hardware units.
Difference = UK has sold 1.6m MORE units then Germany, almost 100%.
Thus making UK market the 2nd biggest games market in the world and biggest games market in europe by a long long way. Germany is not even close.
So in terms of games sales and console sales Germany is nowhere near number one market in europe. Maybe they mean the biggest card game market in europe? ;)
