Interesting that in the Sony projections for Germany they say 360 will outsell the PS3 2 to 1 for the year. Shame they don't give any reasons for that.

Only 2 million PS3's in all of Germany as it is. You think Move will hit a 25% attach rate in just a few months?

if you count move as the number of controllers than it really isn't 25% attach rate now is it? i'm sure a significant portion of move buyers will pick up 2 or more controllers which could drop the real attach rate to around 10-13%.

Germany is the most Pro PC country in Europe I can think of. I would not underestimate the number of online purchases made in a country like Germany, they are pretty serious gamers.

I doubt that target will be met, although it is a valid point what is a Move unit? Common sense says it should be one of the glow sticks.

I think you misread something. Those percentages aren't projected marketshare, they're projected YOY performance. Although the way it's worded in the translated article can be somewhat misleading. They're predicting 360 to be down 14% YOY and PS3 up 7% YOY. Going by our numbers that translates about 400k for 360 (looks about right) and approximately 800k for PS3 (somewhat optimistic, depends on Move and GT5 impact). Although I'm not sure how in-line we are with Gfk.
