xbox360 got already a big boost from kinect/mw3 bundles that why it complains a small boost.

What Kinect Bundle?  Certainly an old bundle wouldnt be the explanation.  PS3 jumped 103% in Germany with no new releases and no software above 36K compared to the previous week with Assasins Creed at over 72K and MW3 over 58K.. Wii jumped the week after new Zelda release, not the week of new Zelda release.  I assume they must still be getting the data in order. Otherwise doesnt seem right.

EDIT: Looks like they are basing PS3 sales on last year PS3 sales results.  Problem is last year GT5 released this same week (relative).  Last year PS3 went from just over 22K to just under 46K. This year the increase is nearly the same, problem is no GT5 this year. No big release at all this year.

GT5 doesn't explain why Wii is up 85% . I think the reason could be advertisement. Media Markt,  one of Germany's largest retailer for consumer electronics has a big advertisement campaign. Not sure when it started, but I saw lots of their spots last week.

There is one spot where the gift is a Wii: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilEh67_M5ec and one where the gift is a PS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv0F7j9eRkI

I've never seen one with Xbox360. Maybe that pushed both Wii and Ps3 last week in Germany.

The YoY % change for the Wii and for the 360 this year and last year are nearly the same as well.  Looks like the simply used the same % for this years numbers.   This is somewhat acceptable except for the GT5 factor that wasnt taken into account.

Nononono, you're reading this all wrong. You're comparing 2011 numbers to 2011 numbers . Germany numbers only go back by one week

NO, I am using thhe hardware table numbers which has many countries for several yearss of data.
