Fucking shit! Really didn't expect such huge numbers from France. I thought the gaming market is considerably smaller than UK's, and even thought the GTA V gap is big, the overall number of units sold is quite amazing :D Can't wait to see the FW numbers here, and get some info from Rockstar themselves.

Wonder how it sold in our little country, haha :) Maybe SCEP is gonna release the numbers.

 

I still can't get it how come gaming is so popular in UK and why the gap is huge between UK and Germany/France/Italy. Just makes no sense whatsoever.

Could be various reasons.

- Game is only available in English (except subtitles of course)
- Lots of mainland Europeans are buying from the UK since it's much cheaper
- Germany has the highest amount of PC players in Europe (unless you'd count Russia, but you should get the point) and too many old citizens who in general aren't into videogames
- Italy has much better weather
