It's not a perfect translation, so in short: The first seven months of 2009 show growth over the record numbers from last year, revenue this year so far is at 417 mio. DKK, 12 mio. above last years numbers for the same period of time, and everything points to 2009 being a new record year for the industry.

Also, 417 mio. DKK = 80,4 mio. USD and 12 mio. DKK = 2,3 mio. USD at the current exchange rate.

 

Go Denmark! Wooohooo!

Thats because Denmark has like 3 gaming fans and you're buying more games this year?

Just thought i'd correct ya.

 

Also i'm not recession proof.. Sure i've bought games but I bought more last year :p

Well, I can estimate.

If you look at the hardware weekly, Scandinavia has sold 5320K hardware this gen (No Ps2). I presume Ioi uses the common decription (no Finland + Iceland).

Norway has sold ~ 750K of hardware, I believe. Thus, Sweden + Denmark has 4.5M to split. Sweden is larger than Denmark, so a 40-60 split would be logical, which results in 1.9M hardware sold in Denmark.

This is very vague, so 1.5-2.5M is more of the expected range.

The US is looking at 33% decreases for this year, and if that keeps up we'll only need 7 years untill Denmark is a bigger market than the US. Yay!
