The size of the population doesn't matter, it's the size of the market or how many people are looking to buy a product. If you look at past numbers it shows European buy less consoles than the Japanese do. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,1684952,00.html As of 2005 or the tailend of last gen only 1 in 10 German households had a console. http://www.france-game.org/video_game_market/050215_panorama_video_game_market.htm Like in france it's growing, but history has shown Europe minus the UK in general buys less consoles than the USA(Largest Market) and Japan(2nd Largest).



Predicting the Future - 360 Will get to 11 Million in the USA this year!!

Predicting the Future - Wii will NOT win this gen in America!!


Prediciting the Future - The PS3 will pass the Wii by 2009!!

Handheld: Japan: 21.58 America:19.69 Europe: 19.67 Home Console: Japan: 3.3 America: 9.95 Others: 6.15 Japan is 2million higher than america/europe on handhelds. America/europe are only 20,000units off from each other. Home consoles japan is in last, 1/3rd the american sales, and europe is in 2nd with 2/3rd america's sales. Add everything together. TOTAL: America: 29.64 Europe: 25.83 Japan: 24.88 Japan is the smallest market. Not europe. 10 years ago, europe didnt exist as a gameing market. Who cares. It does today.

Do you realize what you just said? I'll also wait for more confirmation from other sources, we all know the shipped vs. sold model Sony adheres to. If true, then great news for Sony, the competetion, & us as gamers in the end.

The info on this site is accurate. I was wondering when the PS3 would outsell japan. The PS3 is failing miserably in japan. And it is selling amazing in europe.

Noticed I soruced my work, I also soruced proof that Germany was a small market with only 1 in 10 having a console, and that was 2 years ago, not ten! Also if you are using this site, you can't get current euro sales and other means all other markets besides Japan and the americas..Not just europe.

Who purchases the most software?

yup. This site... who has insiders in basically every market in the industry... is WRONG. I'll stick with my info from this site. Either way, it's not a small margin Europe is ahead of Japan. At counting only the million+ worldwide sellers, Europe sells more software than japan.

before you guys go nuts... that article sources this site as their reason for why PS3 has passed 3 million. I'm not saying this site is wrong, but that news site is really unimportant because all it is saying is that PS3 has passed 3 million according to this site. I'm not sure why he even posted the news site actually....

Ah shit....I finally saw 2006 Japan sales, a bit lower than europe. But that is one country vs a whole continent. For now anyway, but i was going a country to country numbers, like germany where 1 in 10 is rather bad. Oh well, I wanted Japan passed anyway. No skin off my nose.
