| gebx said: The article says that the Wii just passed a Million " se déroule cependant à bonne distance du succès de la Wii, qui a pour sa part déjà dépassé le seuil du million d'unités écoulées dans l'Hexagone" Why does it refer to France as the "Hexagone"?? |
If you draw a broken line from Caen (north west, closest town to britain) to Strasbourg (well a bit north of it as it is not on the north-eastern corner separating France and germany), to the east part of the Cote d'Azur (at the France-Italy border), back west to the east part of the Pyreneans, along the Pyrenees until you hit the Atlantic, north west in direction of Brest (in Britanny) then back to Caen you have a irregular hexagone, hence why L'Hexagone is the nickname of France in a similar way that The Big Apple is the nickname of New York.

I hope Diomedes sees this thread and understand that this is the kind of hard data that Ioi can use to improve his tracking (especially during the Christmas period) and not vague numbers that we don't know the origin of.
That said it looks like 360 was spot on unlike what Diomedes thought but PS3 was indeed undertracked in France like he thought.
Hopefully this will help Ioi give us a better trackig in France both outside the holiday season and during the holiday season next years (and the following years of course).
