Wow...well, not as bad as in Japan at least.

I found this post from gaf interesting
"Let us not forget that Scandinavian TierX retailers imported a lot Xbone of consoles from Germany before MS decided they are worthy of receiving official support. So these German sales are not even showcasing true state of Xbone gaming in Germany.


edit - XBone sales arrived in Scandinavia in September of 2014, almost year after launch in US/Tier1 EU countries

wondering if that accounts towards xbox one sales(which are good btw).

Well in honesty sales in Germany isn't my forte, and I noticed that VGC has it at 325k (http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/42085/Germany/), so I felt as it was undertracked that the numbers weren't too bad.

400k units didn't sound too bad to me but perhaps it's struggling more than I initially thought. That is my error for making assumptions. 

All scandinavian countries together have lnot that much more population than Northrhine Westphalia alone. At the same time i dont believe every importer imported from Germany.

Now, Xbox One had a really tough first half 2014 over here. Expensive, less powerful...
It gained momentum basically from september/october 2014 onwards.

Xbox One had really terrible summer over here, especially the time after Mario Kart 8. There where about two and a half months with Wii U sales being at least twice as high, the first weeks an even bigger difference.
Last christmas again was a little tough for Microsoft. But things actually keep turning.

Once again, this is Playstation nation as well as PC-land.

Conegamer said: Ka-pi96 said: Wait, Xbox One undertracked in Germany? It's by such a small amount that it doesn't really matter, but still highly ironic considering the number of people claiming Xbox One is overtracked in Europe Well technically it could be overtracked in Germany and still overtracked in Europe, but I know what you mean The XOne sales are pretty good by themselves, but the PS4 sales are just insane.

I have to disagree with that. They are poor for the biggest economy in Europe and a population size of 80 million.

Yes it would. I assume VGC has a fairly good idea of the market shares of most of the major markets, so if Germany is reasonably expected to be ~X% of the global PS4 market, then knowing with a high degree of accuracy the global LTD means it's a simple calculation to have a pretty decent idea of the German LTD. And of course having a highly accurate estimate of USA (thanks to NPD) and an extremely accurate estimate for Japan, thanks to Media Create and Famitsu, means half the global market share work is done for you already.

Not sure why Cone is suggesting Xb one sales are good when taken in isolation from PS4. 360 should be the benchmark for doing well for Xb one, and the way Xb one is going right now it doesn't have a shit show of reaching the 2.6 million of 360. It will be doing well to get half of that at this rate. Selling about 200K last year it looks like it could achieve 300K in its peak year, and over 5 years that's looking to be about 1.3-1.5 million lifetime. And I don't see Xb one having an extended life like 360. But you never know I guess.

That seens to be the X1 problem everywhere, its not doing bad but the PS4 is just insane and by comparision the X1 looks bad.

Btw, this is my 1000th post yay.

When I get to a computer, Ill compare this to PSWii60.

I dont think it will be pretty

Well this is bigger than pinoquio nose.

What's next? X1 is doing well in Japan?
