reverie on 12 February 2008
There are 2 problems here:
1. The newspaper "Euro am Sonntag", which broke out the GfK numbers, made a mistake. They wrote that the numbers represent only 80 % of real sales. The journalist didn't understand how it works.
2. That article did not report lifetime sales. They stated 2007 sales and Christmas sales. I hope ioi didn't wind down 360 and Wii sales too far? Not sure about that.
Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.
