VG Chartz has everything way over tracked, somethings weird.

Scandinavia:

ConsoleWeeklyTotal
6,778 2,178,910
6,539 879,744
4,659 671,492
3,619 575,895
2,595 1,074,450
1,582 3,190,139
Total 25,772

 

360 is extremely overtracked. It hasn't even sold half that number. Wii also very overtracked.

Sony in general and PS3 completely dominates because money isn't a big factor in Scandinavia. People are much richer here than most everywhere else. And the Playstation brand is what matters to people. Bluray is also huge, because literally everybody have HDTV's.

 

You fabricated a big fat lie. The X360 ain't overtracked in Scandinavia. The X360 is a lot bigger than the PS3 in Sweden (but with Norwegian numbers it equals out a lil bit). Blu-ray is very tiny in Scandinavia, absolutely no one cares and you can't even rent many Blu-ray movies here at most rentals. And the HDTV penetration is not as high as u portray even if Sweden is a very rich country. Perhaps 30% of households have HDTVs.

 

PS3 dominates 360 in Denmark,Norway and Finland. In Norway and Denmark especially, PS3 is selling more than 3 times better than 360.

Only in sweden is 360 doing ok becuase you're much poorer. You also have by far the lowest hdtv penetration ratio because of that.

This. I only know 1 guy with a 360. And I don't even know him well. I've met him like twice. When i was out for midnight launch of GTA4. There was like 2 out of the maybe 50 people who were going to get it for the 360. I know my anecdotal evidence doesn't say much. But a travel a lot and i know a lot of people.. not to mention denmark is a pretty small country. So I know i'm right.

Another notion is that i already knew that the wii and the ps3 were selling roughly the same.. atleast it looked that way to me. WIth ps3 getting the best shelf space:p

I won't say anything about the other countries or reasons that it does. Personally i would like to think it portrays a consumer knowledge of quality and perhaps.. Well probably also brand loyalty :p

ouch at DS-numbers - 950k + X (finland) shipped, but 2 million sales tracked

Ofcurse finland counts to scandinavia, I'm not even sure why some people are questioning that.

Finland is at most 20% of the scandinavian market, which would be ~240k DS units. I believe it's less than that, because it's the 3rd biggest of the 4 countries and the one with the by far smallest GDP (total and per capita).

 Well I dont believe you. We're very rich in Sweden and economically on par with our lil brothers Denmark and Norway. They dont have more HDTVs though, but by tradition they like Playstation more than Sweden, where the X360 is bigger.

Btw, Norway and Denmark are very small and insignificant countries saleswise. Sweden has a bigger population than those two nations combined.

What do you mean ? Don't forget that we used to rule both your asses.

 

Not to mention we're oldest as a nation hence in the literal sense we would be your big brother while norway, your little..

 

Oh and it's true that xbox360s don't really sell here. While the ps3 sells atleast as well as the wii if not better. It has the best shelf space.
