Translation:

 

 

Wonderbook: the book of spells is still a bestseller in Iberia (Portugal and Spain ).According to figures provided by GFK the Playstation 3 exclusive game has sold 54,000 units, counting packs with the Playstation 3 500 gigabytes, the best selling console of Christmas in Spain according to GfK, one of the largest market research institutes.

More than ten thousand people have been during the month of December

 

 

wait wait wait.

54k with bundles in Spain AND Portugal. And it was the best selling console in Spain this xmas.

So the best selling console in Spain sold 54k

- consoles sold in Portugal
- standalone software in Portugal
- standalone software in Spain

So at the end of the day we are looking at 20k max for the most popular console SKU. Maybe 45 - 50k for the PS3 and even less for XBox 360 / Wii U.

Damn those 25% unemployment rate is killing Spain.

Not exactly that. It says that wonderbook has sold 54K between bundles with new PS3s and separated units. It doesn't mean that the PS3 has sold ~50K units in total, there are a lot of different bundles (but the most prominent one may be wonderbook one) That article says nothing of the total number of PS3s sold.

But you can get there. Or get a good estimation for it.

 

The bundle with wonderbook was the best selling console SKU in Spain. It sold 54k including standalone software in Spain and Portugal combined. A 25 / 75 split between Portugal and Spain is reasonable IMO.

54k * 0.75 = 40k for Wonderbook in Spain
40k - Standalone software for 7 weeks (!!!) = 25k - 30k for the best selling console SKU this Xmas. Let's say the other PS3 SKUs sold 15 - 20k and you get the number I mentioned above. And of course 360 and Wii U are still lower than that.

IMO these are not good, decent or excellent sales. This is just bad.
