Europe domination these days belong to Nintendo, MS sold 20M Xbox 360s in Europe wich is almost more than Xbox 1 WW.


I don't think Nintendo dominates, the Wii is a family and friends console for most people, not the first and only console, when I go and see a friend I come with my Wii not my 360 or PS3, because Wii has more multiplayer friendly games for having fun. That's why sales were huge (along with kids that love Nintendo games/mascots). But every real gamer owns either a 360 or a PS3. To me the "domination" in the heart of an hardcore gamer can only be between 360 and PS3 (ok, my 29 yo brother only play on Wii or DS/3DS, but he is a special man ! (he played lego up to 12 yo) ^^.

Is this sold to consumers? (UC3)

Seems like... Killzone 3 and God of War III have good results in France too.

Même chose pour Uncharted 3 : L'illusion de Drake, qui a fait bien mieux que les épisodes précédents. Ca fait 400.000 jeux vendus, et sur un seul format ! Killzone 3, God of War III... ont aussi fait des bons résultats.

400k seems far too much, only one game released in 2011 sold more on PS3 ! It was MW3.
I trust VGC's 200k something more.

There are more games that sold more than 400k in France in 2011... VGC just cover sales after 22nd Oct 2011.
