Microsoft France Interview

So VGchartz put 360 through June at 765k which mean overtracked by 65k. Now we just need latest PS3 LTD numbers.

^ PS3 was around 800,000 through June. I think PS3 and Wii are overtracked in France too, and by more than 360 is.

Playstation brand is still very strong in France amongst children under 15. Yesterday I was at GAME and there was a mother selling a X360 and a Wii to get a PS3. The guy was a bit surprised and the mother said "now they want nothing but a PS3 because everyone at school has one, they're never happy with what they have".
Talk about reasoned consumers...

In this case PS3 is overtracked by 90k in France alone. In Spain PS3 is close to 1 million and we haven't got latest GFK figures, which mean its another country where PS3 can be overtracked by 100k.

Do we know if these Gfk numbers for France are extrapolated or are they like 90% of the total sales like in the UK? If it is the latter we should expect Vgchartz to be 10-20% above Gfk for all consoles.
