Not official numbers.

For a country as large and with such a strong economy they a very low numbers.

NeoGaf has banned VGChartz numbers.


Numbers in OP are official, source is in the gaf link.


"The figures are derived from the market research company Media Control GfK."

How different is that from NPD? None. These are the most official numbers you'll ever get country wise until Nintendo updates that chart they show with each quarterly results.

GFK is the official tracker in Euroe useb by Nintendo, Sony an MS.... the Nintendo chartz are estimated in GFK numbers.

And how is it different from VGChartz?

As wrong that VGChartz might be, and they are a lot, it at least has a long record.

NPD has what? 20 years of experience and historical data.

One thing I can assure you, neither Microsoft nor Sony  were using VGchartz numbers to give their last month total sales. So, unless VGchartz re-arranges rest of the world sales there is very little room to give or take sales for both consoles.

And for that matter, it dosen´t matter small local variations, the big picture is still  overral 4 to 3 sales. With the formar being cheaper and with a broader distribution.



more evidence that ps4 is dominating europe.

I couldn´t find any evidence to suport that claim.

Only thing google returns are their reports on software sales but no comments for either companies. Most of Microsfot or Sony related articles are from the last 10 hours and this especific report.

Also, couldn´t find the complete report and its details.

Not surprised at all. Thanks for news.

In France we still have sold out PS4.

You can't be serious?

Every time any MS, Sony or Nintendo PR says the sales (not shipment) in Europe... they are using GFK... every document about sales in Europe shows a note saying the numbers are based in GFK.

GFK is older than NPD and more accurate too... I don't remember the correct numbers but they are like:

GFK: 90% of the retail tracked
NPD: 60% of the retail tracked (before they added Walmart)
Famitsu/Media Create: 40-50% of the retail tracked

From the these official trackers used by Nintendo, MS and Sony the GFK is the one that uses less estimates in the numbers.



Yes GFK is 100% reliable.



BTW.

Major Nelson maths.

PS4: 250k / 5 weeks = 50k per week
Xbone:  100k / 6 weeks = 16k per week

Sorry Nelson The maths didn't help this time.

The ratio was over 3:1... 3.1:1 to be exactly.

Further evidence. That 3m in 2013 makes no sense with the info we have


we have to wait until NPD until we can judge on that. if those 3 million sales are sell through, then its more than likely that these overtracked 50K in germany were sold in USA.
