Actually the population was around 82.4 million in mid 2007 and is slowly declining (which is good in my opinion; this country is already very densely populated and sometimes I got the feeling that everyone owns three cars and claims a personal Autobahn section).
PC gaming is still huuuge over here, that's true. There's a lot of people complaining about games developed for consoles and ported to PC. Passionate discussions about survival of PC gaming in every German game forum.
And yes - while the PS2 clearly initiated the slow change - now especially the DS (not so much the Wii) seems to push the change further. It's interesting though how big the French console/handheld market still is compared to Germany, not to speak of UK. I didn't know the difference in European markets until I found VG Chartz.
