Sales - Nintendo in France - View Post

I was checking the latest European charts and something called my attention

This may be just a fun fact, but in Europe Nintendo seems to be more popular in France than in England and Germany, both hardware and software.

Among the 75 best sellers games, there are 4 WiiU games in Germany, 4 in UK, while in France there are 8.

The WiiU install base in Europe is currently bigger in France (although only slighest bigger than UK). As for 3DS software, the biggest buyers are the British, but 3ds ranks only 3rd in that market, while in France it ranks 2nd.

Of course the French market is not as big as the British, but the numbers suggest that, giving the proportions of each one, Nintendo seems to be doing better in France.

Is there anything different about the French market towards Nintendo ? Or is this just circunstantial?
