Always great to see stats on individual European countries. Plus good to see digital adoption rates increasing.
Are there any stats on Italy?



PS4 software sales jumped by that much?!? I wonder why it was so much bigger than the year before.



PS4 to Xbox One ratio (in 2016, Spain).

Hardware: 8.7 to 1.
Software: 9.5 to 1.



Damn 2007 levels will be reached by 2018 or even this year with Switch, Scorpio and Pro starting to sell more and more and even bigger games coming!

This is why Sony called it fortress Playstation. I bet 2017 sales so far are even more in ps4's favour.  Definition of domination.

Nice to see. Very strong and awesome for the PlayStation 4. Sony has so much love to the players + has got perfect games-support from the west and japan. This is rewarded with strong sales figures - in Spain and the world.
