Sure, but would you say the PS1 is way more iconic for gamers in Germany than the NES?

Nintendo is a household name, but Nintendos sales were never par to Sony until they hit the Wii and lightening still has not struck twice. Sony expanded the gaming market to what it is today and with Microsofts entrance mostly split with Sony having the dominating share. IF you look at the 360 and Ps3 sales combined as well it should hit close to the dominant sales of the PS2. Sony is the legit worlds largest gaming brand. The brand is now synonymous with gaming no different than Nintendo as it is their bread and butter.

And even with the Wii's success, the much more expensive PS3 outsold it in EU.  Only by about 1M, but it still did it.
