But you're using 7th gen numbers. This would be data going all the way back to 2006. I'm talking about data going from 2010 forward. The transition from 7th gen to 8th gen brought about a serious decline in video game revenue in the UK. Places such as France and Germany are becoming more relevant.

Using VGC is fine for unit sales, but for revenue, you gotta look at legit sources. I gave you a source and you didn't like it. So, I asked you to provide me a source and you gave me a reasonable one, but it didn't have France's numbers. I have a feeling that you're seeing what I'm saying, but refuse to acknowledge it.

But I explained that the reason console sales slowed after 2011 in the UK was because of market saturation. Ok, lets use 8th gen console numbers then if you don't think 7th gen numbers prove my point: 

  UK France Germany
PS4 952,162 498,412 531,185
Xbox One 635,037 200,413 174,257
Wii U 321,052 406,552 276,861
Total
1,908,251
1,105,377
982,303

UK is way ahead of both France and Germany in console sales. These are the most recent numbers from VGC. 

I don't know where to find console sales revenue. But considering the fact that the UK's total console sales are way ahead of the other two European countries, and the UK's prices for consoles are the highest, I'm confident revenue will be the highest in the UK too. 


Alright. I think we're done here. If all you can use is VGC numbers, then there's not much you can prove to me. The previous guy I replied to gave me a different set of numbers that do not reflect what you're saying. Even so, my point still stands. We need to include France and Germany in these numbers and stop focusing so hard on just the UK.
