Ah, sorry about that then.



Thanks for posting anyway, the previous posting was pretty buried, the only reason I found it is because it was my thread :)

Maciej Kmiołek (SCEP) in this pretty short interview summarise situation of PS3 in Poland. Sale of PS3 exceeded assumed target and right now we have 75k PS3's... They expected to sell 100k as for April. SCEP made a profit (as a division) in it's first year of activity.

He provides some details about our market - during PS2 era people mostly bought platinum games (90%) Now we buy mostly full priced games. He's pleased PS3 is still unhacked system. Best selling PS3 title right now is Uncharted - 15k he mention also LBP - 10k, Resistance 2 - 10k, Motorstorm PR - 10 k.

All these figures seem pretty low but as for this particular market it's very solid performance. Much better than PS2.

The Polish Entertainment Software Association "SPIDOR" website has now gone live after being "under construction" for several months.

Unfortunately there's no data on the Polish market yet, but hopefully they'll eventually add some as is the case for most of the other ISFE members.



Very interesting. Good thread!



Eastern Europe is a big market really, just looks small when compared to EU/USA/Japan. Plenty of potential for growth.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
