Interesting, maybe we are a little high on our PS3 figures then. I'd imagine the GFK data is scaled up to represent 100% from an 80% sample, but we will check to make sure...

It seems you are way too high in this case. I think that GfK tracks  on the same level in Germany as MC does in Switzerland. MC tracks about 80% in Switzerland, however these 80% include all the "big players", responsible for about 95% of all sales. Same in Germany, all the big players are tracked by GfK. Upscaleing GfK numbers to 100% therefore would yield numbers roughly 5% higher, so your PS3 numbers will stay way off.
