Italy could quite possibly overtake Spain this year to become the fourth largest market in Europe.

We should have Australian data before the end of the month.
No software unit data for Canada, just value, so Canadian unit sales are estimated from that.

Do you have any revenue numbers for Ireland too? :)

The Irish figures are just my estimates based off of 2004 data where the Irish market was pretty much inline with the UK when population is taken into account.

Lol... no it isn't... All the PC charts show UK in third behind Germany and pretty equal to, but still below France.

It's because our economy is more in trouble than most of the other country's in Europe.
That's what happens when you have a Socialist as a president during those times.

UK's ahead of France for PC Software units, but behind on value. The collapse of the Pound partially explains that, but PC software units had a massive drop in UK this year, it's quite possible it will legitimately fall behind France this year on both units and value.
