 Total hardware sold: 530.000

420.000.000 swiss franc [= 420.462.420 $] revenue 2007 [2006 revenue = 300.000.000 swiss franc = 300.330.300 $]

Software = 79,5% of total revenue = 333.900.000 swiss franc revenue = 334.267.624,9 $

62,2 % of Sotware revenue generated by consoles = 207.685.800 swiss franc revenue = 207.914.462,1 $

37,8 % of Software revenue generated by handhelds = 126.214.200 swiss franc revenue = 126.353.161,8 $

Nintendo had 52,5% market share in unit sales. [NDS + Wii]

SONY had 42,1% market share in unit sales. [PS2 + PSP + PS3]

Microsoft had 11,6% market share in unit sales ===> the 360 sold 61.480 units in 2007.

The 11,6% marketshare from Microsoft is for the console market, so excluding the handheld market. For the total market it should be the leftover share after subtracting Nintendo's and Sony's marketshare, so 100%-52,2%-42,1%= 5,7% That puts Microsoft at around 30k Xbox 360s sold in 2007 in Switzerland and the total size of the console market at 260k, with the handheld market making up just over 50% in units with 270k.

Yeah, they release this data every quarter, there's a thread here somewhere with it in. Having said that, it's mainly unit data, so hopefully that link you posted has some value data we didn't have already.

It's new year today here, so forgive me for not thinking so straight, but are you converting the currency at Jan 01/08 rates or current rates?

xe.com has an historical rate table, which should be used for 2007 data.

http://www.siea.ch/ has PDFs with quarterly Swiss results in.

A thread about Switzerland's console sales, and it wasn't started by me. What a surprise

Interesting to see Sony still helds such a big market share though.

Here you go.

Coincidentally just yesterday I sent an email to SIEA requesting value data for Swirzerland, it remains to be seen if they reply, but I requested 2007 sales data from quite a few national video game associations whilst bored at work yesterday, so hopefully Monday I'll get a reply from at least one of them.

Wow ... Sony still holds a pretty stable place in many parts of the EU :)
