I was quite sure that Efkac is the only Polish guy here (excluding me :) )
where do you get the numbers for Polish sales? that must make quite an interesting reading.

And if Nintendo sold sold 350 Wii U's in Poland, then tomorrow, Friday, they will sell unit number no. 351, I'm buying tomorrow :)

And my opinion on sales? My friends tend to have PS3, some have 360 and the same number of them has a Wii. Strangely, they were not aware of XBone existence. PS3 owners said they have a load of games to finish before they upgrade. Wii owners said that they like nintendoland (?!) and SM3DW, the other is happy with her Wii.

I'd say ps4>Wii U> Xbone for Poland. Unhackable, expensive xbone won't do good. And PS360 becomes cheaper and cheaper, same with the games.


As you see, there's quite a few of us I know of one more guy, but he hasn't been active recently.

The numbers come directly from SCEP when it comes to PS3, you can google them, but they haven't released anything since the 500k mark 1.5 year ago. When it comes to Wii U it comes from Gfk Polonia - the only company that analyses the sales of computer games in Poland.

I think it's hard to imagine anything doing worse than Wii U. Just the marketing campaign should be enough to sell over 1k And there probably is some kinda of a MS fanbase out there. It's gonna be obliterated by PS4, but unless Nintendo finally finds Poland on the map, XO can win this fight. And what a cripple fight it's gonna be!!


To my knowledge Nintendo is currently preparing "Nintendo of Poland", given all the talk about finding new markets and stuff this does seem like a plausible move. Though to be honest so far I havn't seen too much marketing for any of next gen consoles, which is soooo different to England where the whole subway metro underground corridor is slapped with PS4 and call of duty.
And given the state of the economy, Wii U might win at "price-aware parents"; I just checked the prices, Wii U stands at ~ 1300 PLN, while XBone is at 2600 PLN (both bundles include a game). That's quite a difference.
Still, anything may happen. Especially that stuff like FIFA is so popular in Poland, which is usually found on 360 here.
