114m current-gen machines on the market, says data from GameStop and IDG

A clear picture of the total number of consoles sold in Europe has emerged today.

According to IDG data released by GameStop, the active European games console market in total is around 153m units.

114m of that are current gen machines, which breaks down like this:

- 14.7 million Sony PlayStation 3 units
- 24.9 million Nintendo Wii units
- 13.7 million Microsoft Xbox 360 units
- 14.8 million Sony PSP units
- 46 million Nintendo DS units

The numbers are actually as of December 2010, so you can assume they have risen a touch since.

So what is their definition of 'active' and 'European'?

I thought gap between 360 and PS3 would be much larger.

I would assume this is for the primary markets that Nintendo usually refer to in their investor briefing (UK, Germany, France, Spain). Besides that, Sony announced they had sold 16 million PS3s in Europe way back at Gamescon in September. Even if that was shipments at the time it would have become sell-through a while ago.

2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

Added up the VGC numbers for everything Europe and they seem to be as follows:

 

Console Wii PS3 X360 PSP DS
Europe 26915977 16795573 15506645 16702301 48207853

It's rather funny - they all appear to be overtracked almost exactly 2m.

EMEAA stands for Europe Middle East Asia Africa and, for some random reason, also includes Australia so there are actually significantly fewer consoles in Europe alone, even though it has most of the sales in the region.

I'm a little surprised at how low the PSP is, I thought it would be higher.
