Forums - Sales Discussion - Spain, where the Wii failed?

Almost looks like they're quoting us actually. =P

But yeah, the gaming scene in many parts of Europe is pretty undeveloped, and people only know about Sony. I wonder if that will change when developer support starts shifting more and more in the Wii's favour.



Around the Network

You will always have regions where one console sells disproportionately well as compared to the worldwide totals; this is because every region/culture has different opinions about what is important which end up showing up in the sales charts.

Canadians and Americans tend to be considered two of the most similar cultures in the world, but because Canadians (in general) are a little less violent, a little more family oriented, and have a slightly different sense of humor they have (traditionally) disproportionately supported Nintendo's products.

Spain probably has a different value-set than most of the world and prefers the PS3 because it is more in-line with those values.

 This line just SCREAMS Greece lol.




The source says it got the info from another source ,but the numbers are so close ,so extemely close ,that I think the site has actually taken the info from here .

And the Wii isnt failing in Spain .Its selling very well ,just worse that the PS3 that is the console everyone (hardcore and many casuals ) just want to have .But it will double the X360 userbase end of this year (PS3 already has ) in half the time so its not flopping at all .Most of its users are casuals of the worst breed ,true ,but its getting many sales all the same .

Easy for piracy maybe?

No way, the PS3 is the only console out there which can't be pirated.


 I know, but I said "the Playstation brand". With this I'm referring to PSOne, PS2 and PSP. Maybe some people are still believing the new Playstation console can be easily pirated. Maybe?
