Not much decline at all then in one of Europe's biggest markets. Further evidence for 2012 sales in Europe for PS3/360 being undertracked.

Also, holy shit at the amount of PC games sold! Does this include digital? I assume it does

And wow @Spain! PS3 with 43% of the *total* market. Crazy. Wii also above 360 hmm?

I thought it would be higher...

tiny market though isnt it...

That's over triple 360 and 2.4X Wii. 

57% of current gen consoles vs. 19% (360) and 24% Wii. Domination in the truest sense.

What were you expecting, 70%?

I think he is refering to the size of the market. 

I think not (when he says "I thought it would be higher")

I wouldn't call the market tiny with 800m vs. 1.8B in Germany. Germany is a big market, so I'd call Spain a medium sized market.

I did mean the PS3... this is Spain.  Spain is the biggest Sony stronghold on the planet, literally.

...and yeah Spain its a small market.  Also Germany isnt that big  console market, its quite a bit smaller than France and half the size of the UK (both of which have around 25% smaller populations).

Of the markets we see reports about, yes. There are numerous smaller markets where PS dominates similarly. 

Germany is smaller than France? Hmm I always thought it was slightly bigger.

Total sales hardware +software 

UK  2.059 million euros (-22%)

Germany  1957 (-9,2%)

France 1728 (-14,7%)

Spain 725 (-16,9)
