I don't know about the UK, but Nintendo just doesn't have a lot of presence in a lot of eastern European countries, at least from what I've read.   Especially compared to Sony who have been pushing the PlayStation brand in these countries for years.

Indeed, Sony's marketting push in Europe during the PS and PS2 eras was astounding. I'm not sure about the PS3 era since I haven't been to Europe in a while, but that kind of effort doesn't fade away quickly regardless.

That is one of the points of Sony that I respect most. They pushed games into a different sphere of acceptance, mostly thanks to simulation games (GT, and EA's Fifa) and excellent marketting back in the day.

at least in germany they still advertise the ps brand a lot. not to forget the sponsorship of the champions league which they do for probably 15 year or so...

ad campaigns for games like gta, diablo 3 or the last of us are huge here and much bigger as for any xbox 360 or wii u game i have ever seen. and that are only the games released the last months
