This has to be shipped, right? As others have pointed out why would sales rise so much in Germany over the last 4 months? Incredible if it's sell through, but it sounds more like an error on the part of the sales article, even ioi is saying it's shipped numbers.

Impressive. Do we have UK numbers? Is Germany catching up to the UK in terms of video game market size?

Well soon enough he won't be able to deny the hints anymore. When Sony give the next global update of numbers VGC will be way off once again, I am 100% sure of that.

"even ioi" doesn't really add much to the shipped theory, since he doesn't know either and has been way under PS4 numbers too often.

Well it's 1m+ in the UK. Germany is about the same size as the UK I believe with the PC market included. Console market is quite a bit smaller mainly because Playstation completely dominates there while there is slightly more competition in the UK

UK passed the 1 million mark in September (Destiny launch) so it is today at 1.2-1.3m.

The UK has another system doing pretty well, Germany doesn't

I doubt he's going to weigh in, with a very definitive statement, if he has no knowledge on the topic at all.

We're looking at ~460k in 4 months. When it took 8 months, a launch and a holiday period to reach ~540k. If true, the Germany baseline for PS4 has nearly doubled over the past 4 months.

Germany was one of the EU countries that had bigger supply issues... even after April it didn't have the console in stock yet and a lot of time in June and July the Amazon.de got sold out.

Could be explained by no shortages anymore, the white PS4 and huge games.
