your pc gaming  market is so small (probably still some players because of pirating like in every other country as well but still)


Actually i´m portuguese, not spanish, but that´s ok.

Yeah, console software represents  93% and PC only 7%. Piracy rules both in Portugal in Spain, downloading PC games from internet is seen as morally acceptable.

Not only piracy affects that, the fact that publishers like FX Interactive launches their games, with not the text translated into spanish but also the voices dubbed to spanish for 19.99 € and then reduced to 9.99 € after 6 months (take note Square-Enix), makes that consoles games sold for 69.95 € make most of the total revenue.

Also let's not forget that, while it's not something that most people do, there are many gamers who buy their games, their physical games, through english stores like zavvi, amazon, play, etc.  because the prices over there are a lot better than here (GoW: Ascension 49 € at Zavvi but 69.95 € at most retail stores here, for example).

indeed, in germany there are also many who buy their games on zavvi and so on. probably also reason why the uk market looks always that big, many sales to european countries.  i bought minimum 40 games in uk stores this gen

I am constantly checking http://konsolenschnaeppchen.de/ and have ordered Gears of War 1 and 2 via amazon UK - shipment was 1 day longer than amazon DE :)
