Am surprised... a place where the HD consoles are pawning all the other systems??? :|

 

Finland is another one so I think that the same is happening in Denmark and Norway too (Scandinavia). It doesn't matter much  financialy but it is refreshing. =P

Well, in terms of revenue PC is below both PS3 and 360. In terms of units PC is the leader, but by a lot less than last year. PC software unit sales have declined 25% YoY.

 



PC rocking in Sweden. PSP anti-rocking haha. Our 3 7th gen consoles though at about an even split but still below PS2.

Awaiting indepth data through Q3 for Norway, but here's some brief data through Q2:

Norway first half 2008:

Value: 231m (2007: 198m)

PS3: 31%
PS2:
360: 17.7%*
Wii: 14.2%

*Third party software only

Unfortunately we don't really get data from Denmark.

And how much do you think PC is shifting online?

Either way, the first 6 months of 2008 had almost no high-selling PC games on retail, compared to 2007 which had Burning Crusade, Stalker, Shivering Isles, Lord of the Rings online, C&C3 and Supreme Commander. Combine that with the further popularity of digital distribution and you can see why it's so low.

I expect PC to be making more revenue than all other platforms combined in Sweden.

This thread is about retail sales as that is all that is tracked, if you have additional data on digital downloads then feel free to post it.

A typical shio post. No proof, but lots of assumptions.
