No idea how this correlates to VGChartz figures as they don't show data for Spain/Portugal. (Apparenlty they do.)

More info


(current gen consoles)


(2010 console games, single SKU, including special editions but not those bundled with hardware)


(2010 handheld games, single SKU, including special editions but not those bundled with hardware)

And some facts in English ;)

LTD:
- DS install base: 5,3 millions (Nintendo DS is the best-selling hardware system ever)
- Wii install base: 2,7 millions
- PSP install base: 2,5 millions
- PS3 install base: 1,8 millions
- 360 install base: 0.95 millions

2010:
- Console market share: Nintendo has 55,1% out of 2,3 million (all current gen hardware)
- Games for Nintendo platforms account for 44,7% out of 14,3 million (all current gen retail software)

Indeed, with 44.7% of the software market.

These results along with the ones that we got from France show how small of a market continental Europe is (since continental Europe is basically France, Germany, Italy, Spain and some tiny countries ) , compared to North America and how important the U.K market is and makes the "xbox360 is outselling the ps3 ONLY in NA and U.K" memo seem extremely stupid .

Man Nintendo is doing amazing. I'm really suprised at how PS3 is cleaning Microsoft's clock. In the end as others pointed out I would have thought Spain would have a bigger market then that. Only what 2.7 million Wii's sold and that is half the market. Seriously I bet Canada's market is larger and we have fewer people.
